Technical Features
- Close (Nipple) Configuration: Minimal thread-to-thread length eliminates excess pipe extension, allowing tight, space-saving connections in confined installations.
- 3/8 in Nominal Male Thread: Standard male threading ensures compatibility with 3/8 in female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections.
- SCH 40 Schedule Rating: A 0.091 in wall thickness meets Schedule 40 pressure and structural standards, providing reliable performance in standard-duty piping systems.
- Steel Construction: Steel material delivers structural rigidity and durability under mechanical stress compared to plastic alternatives.
- Black Finish: Black coating distinguishes this fitting from galvanized pipe, commonly used in gas-line and industrial piping systems where galvanized coatings are not recommended.
