Anderson Metals Corp 53622-16 Nylon Hex Pipe Nipple 1 Inch Mpt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 53622-16 is a nylon hex pipe nipple with a 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connection. This fitting provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant threaded connection point in piping systems where metal fittings are not suitable or desired. The hex body allows for standard wrench engagement during installation, making assembly straightforward. Nylon construction resists many chemicals and eliminates concerns about galvanic corrosion in mixed-material piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting in low-pressure water, irrigation, and fluid-handling systems.

This hex pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa systems, and similar fluid-handling applications where a 1-inch MPT threaded connection is required. The nylon material makes it a practical choice in environments where corrosion, weight, or electrical conductivity of metal fittings is a concern. Each unit is sold individually, though the supplier packages this part in quantities of 5.

Key Features

• 1-inch male pipe thread (MPT) for standard threaded connections
• Nylon construction offers corrosion resistance and lightweight handling
• Hex body profile allows wrench engagement for secure installation
• Suitable for low-pressure water, irrigation, and fluid-handling lines
• Non-metallic design prevents galvanic corrosion in mixed-material systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for piping systems requiring a 1-inch MPT nylon threaded nipple connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected line before removing any existing fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for use with nylon fittings and the fluid being conveyed. Do not overtighten — nylon threads are more susceptible to cracking under excess torque than metal fittings, so hand-tighten and follow up with only moderate wrench pressure.
