Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the STZ Industries 3/8 in. MIP x 3/8 in. MIP Black Steel Nipple — a rugged, lead-free connector designed to simplify piping runs where two female fittings meet a 3/8 inch line. Built from durable steel and finished in a protective black coating, this 4-1/2 inch nipple delivers reliable, tight connections in tight spaces.

  • Ends: both ends are 3/8 in MIP (male iron pipe) threads for straightforward mating with compatible female fittings.
  • Material & Finish: solid steel core with a black finish for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Size & Length: 4-1/2 inches long with 3/8 in thread diameter on each end.
  • Pressure & Temperature rating: maximum working pressure up to 203 psi and maximum temperature up to 400°F.
  • Lead-free: certified lead-free composition in line with modern plumbing standards.
  • Packaging: bagged for easy handling and transport.

This nipple is ideal for residential and commercial plumbing projects, including water lines, radiant heating, and equipment connections where two female 3/8 inch threads must be joined quickly and securely. Its 4-1/2 inch length provides extra reach in constrained spaces, making it a practical addition to toolkits and service vans.

Usage tips: apply appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for metal threads to ensure a watertight seal, and avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage. Check compatibility with your fittings and system pressure before installation.

In short, the STZ Industries 3/8 in. MIP x 3/8 in. MIP Black Steel Nipple delivers dependable, lead-free connections with a robust build, suitable for a range of plumbing and mechanical applications where reliable 3/8 inch threaded male-to-male connections are needed.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
