304/304L Stainless Steel Construction
304/304L stainless steel provides corrosion-resistant construction for compatible piping applications. The seamless construction eliminates a longitudinal weld seam and provides a consistent pipe nipple body between the threaded ends.
Schedule 40 Construction
These nipples use Schedule 40 wall dimensions. Actual outside diameter and wall thickness vary by nominal pipe size. Refer to the pipe chart below for common pipe diameters and wall thicknesses.
Threaded Connections
The threaded ends conform to ANSI B1.20.1. Proper thread sealant and installation practices should be selected based on the piping system, service media, temperature, and application requirements.
Lead-Free Plumbing Compliance
These stainless steel pipe nipples are certified to contain ≤0.25% weighted average lead and conform with lead-content requirements for lead-free plumbing as defined by the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.
Selection & Application Guidance
- Select the required nominal pipe size and nipple length.
- Confirm Schedule 40 wall dimensions for the selected pipe size.
- Verify 304/304L stainless steel is compatible with the intended service media and environment.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant for the application.
- Follow proper NPT engagement and tightening practices.
- Confirm system pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
