• Uses:
• ● 3/8" NPT pipe nipples are an easy way to add a 3/8" pipe of various lengths to your application.
• ● They are also used to connect two 3/8" fittings at varying distances apart, depending on the length of the nipple.
  
• ● Used to connect piping to threaded fittings, valves, pumps and other equipment with 3/8" Female NPT Threads.
• Installation:
• ● Thread the 3/8" Male NPT threaded end into a 3/8" Female NPT Thread.
• Size Classification:
• ● A pipe nipple is classified first according to the size of the pipe thread and then by the length of the pipe.
• ● So a 3/8" Nipple that is 2" long will be called a 3/8" x 2" pipe nipple.

More Information:

3/8” Pipe nipples are short lengths of 3/8” pipe with male threads at both ends, used to connect two female threaded fittings or components. They are constructed from stainless steel 304, also available in Stainless Steel 316 for special order. The small size of the 3/8-inch pipe nipple make it suitable for various applications including plumbing and industrial settings, air and water systems, oil and gas pipelines, and pneumatic systems. They are also often used for joining sections of piping, extending 3/8” pipe lengths, and connecting various components with 3/8” Female Threads. Their compact size makes them good for tight spaces or small diameter piping systems, allowing for reliable fluid transfer and connections.
