The 3/4" heavy black barrel nipple is a adaptable fitting used for creating pipe connections in various industrial and plumbing applications. Here's a detailed breakdown of its specifications and functionalities:
Malleable iron for superior strength and durability. Withstands high pressure and impact compared to standard steel nipples.
The black iron finish offers a classic look and some level of corrosion resistance.
Note: For environments prone to extreme moisture or harsh chemicals, consider galvanized nipples for enhanced protection.
Nominal diameter of 3/4 inches (approximately 19.05mm). This refers to the internal diameter of the pipe the nipple is designed to connect.
Typically features Male (M) BSPT (British Standard Pipe Thread) threads on both ends. These tapered threads ensure a secure, leak-proof connection. Double-check thread compatibility with your specific pipes before purchase.
"Heavy" refers to the increased wall thickness compared to standard nipples. This provides additional strength for applications with higher pressure or mechanical stress. Specific wall thickness details may vary depending on the manufacturer.
Commonly used in air, gas, water, and oil lines within industrial settings due to its robust build.
Can be suitable for low-pressure water lines, irrigation systems, and compressed air applications within non-residential plumbing.
The industrial aesthetic of black iron can be used for creating furniture legs, handrails, or other structural elements. Important Note: Ensure structural calculations are done to confirm the nipple's suitability for weight-bearing applications.
While "heavy" signifies increased strength, consult the manufacturer's specifications for the nipple's specific pressure rating. This will guide you to the maximum pressure the nipple can handle safely.
Similarly, check the temperature rating to ensure the nipple fits the intended application's temperature range.
While this page focuses on the general specifications, 3/4" heavy black barrel nipples come in various lengths. Choose the length that precisely fits your project requirements.
Apply an appropriate thread sealant during installation to ensure a leak-proof connection.
• For detailed dimension information, including thread length and overall nipple length, refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
• If unsure about thread compatibility or applicable pressure/temperature ratings, consult a plumbing professional for guidance.
