Description
Schedule 40 304/304L Stainless Steel T-O-E Pipe Nipples
Schedule 40 304/304L Stainless Steel T-O-E Pipe Nipples are manufactured from premium seamless stainless steel pipe conforming to ASTM A312/SA312 specifications. Designed for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, these pipe nipples are commonly used in food processing, water treatment, brewery, commercial, industrial, and general-purpose piping systems.
Each nipple is precision threaded on one end to ASME B1.20.1 standards for dependable installation and leak-resistant connections. The opposite plain end provides flexibility for welding, fabrication, field assembly, or custom piping applications requiring a single threaded connection.
Product Highlights
- Manufactured from 304/304L seamless stainless steel pipe
- Threaded One End (T-O-E) configuration
- Schedule 40 wall thickness
- NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1
- Pipe conforms to ASTM A312/SA312 specifications
- Excellent corrosion resistance and long service life
- Suitable for industrial, commercial, and sanitary piping systems
- Plain end allows welding, fabrication, or field assembly
- Manufactured in ISO 9001:2008 certified facilities

Threaded One End Configuration
The T-O-E configuration provides one precision-machined NPT threaded end and one unfinished plain end. This design is useful when one side of the nipple needs a standard threaded connection while the opposite side will be welded, fabricated, cut, or incorporated into a custom piping assembly.
The threaded end conforms to ASME B1.20.1 standards to provide compatibility with properly sized NPT threaded fittings and components.

304/304L Stainless Steel Construction
Corrosion Resistance
- Resists rust and moisture in many piping environments
- Suitable for commercial and industrial service
- Well suited for water and process piping applications
- Useful where carbon steel may be unsuitable due to corrosion concerns
Fabrication Friendly
- Plain end can be used for compatible welding applications
- Suitable for custom fabrication and field assembly
- Available with custom cut and thread options
- Useful for equipment connections and specialty piping layouts
Schedule 40 Pipe Construction
Schedule 40 wall thickness provides a dependable balance of strength, weight, and flow capacity for a wide range of commercial and industrial piping applications.
Because nominal pipe size does not directly equal the pipe's actual outside diameter, users should confirm required dimensions and wall thickness before ordering or submitting a custom fabrication request.
Common Applications
Commercial & Sanitary Piping
- Food processing systems
- Brewery piping
- Water treatment systems
- Commercial plumbing
- Process piping
Industrial & Fabrication
- Industrial piping systems
- Equipment connections
- Custom welded assemblies
- Mechanical piping
- General stainless steel fabrication
