Description
Overview:
The Stainless Steel Barrel Nipple with a 3 in (76.2 mm) NPT thread is a durable, male-to-male pipe fitting used to join two female-threaded ports in construction and garden machinery. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it provides a secure, leak-resistant connection in harsh outdoor and on-site environments. The tapered NPT form helps achieve a tight seal with suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape. This component is well suited to fluid and air transfer lines, pump connections, and general pipework on equipment where reliability matters. It can be used across a wide range of machines and static systems, and is compatible with models such as 282 102 and 282-102 where a 3 in (76.2 mm) NPT male thread is specified.
Key Features:
- 3 in (76.2 mm) NPT tapered male thread at both ends for secure, leak-resistant joints
- Stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion and wear resistance in outdoor use
- Strong, rigid fitting to maintain alignment under vibration and regular service loads
- Smooth machined threads for easier starting and tightening by hand and spanner
- Suitable for water, air, oils, and many non-corrosive fluids typically used in machinery systems
- Helps restore or extend existing pipe runs without changing layout or hose lengths
- Simple to install with standard tools and PTFE tape or thread sealant
- Resistant to rust, making it a long-lasting choice in damp or dirty environments
- Versatile fit for pumps, compressors, tanks, and general plant pipework
- Low-maintenance component with dependable sealing performance over time
Typical Applications:
Commonly used to link pipework on pumps, compressors, tanks, and hydraulic or coolant return lines. Ideal for connecting fixed piping to valves, manifolds, filters, and other threaded fittings on construction plant, pressure washers, generators, and garden machinery. Suits repairs, upgrades, or extensions where a robust 3 in (76.2 mm) NPT male-to-male connector is needed.
