This nipple is designed to connect two 3/8" male-threaded fittings with a secure, leak-tight seal.

Practical tips for use: - Always use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for your application and follow local codes. - Align threads properly and avoid over-tightening to prevent cross-threading or damage. - Confirm system pressure and temperature limits before installation to maintain reliability. - Store in a dry place to preserve finish and prevent oxidation on exposed brass surfaces.
