Larsen Supply 32-1503 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/8 X 1.5 in Type 304

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 32-1503 is a short stainless steel pipe nipple designed for connecting or extending pipe runs and fittings in plumbing and mechanical systems. Manufactured from Type 304 stainless steel, it measures 1/8 inch nominal pipe size with an overall length of 1-1/2 inches. The nipple is rated at 150 LB and is fully lead free, meeting requirements for potable water and other regulated applications. Male pipe thread on both ends allows for straightforward installation into threaded fittings, valves, or pipe couplings. Plumbers and pipefitters use this type of nipple in tight-clearance situations where a close or shoulder nipple will not seat properly.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general mechanical piping where a 1/8-inch NPT connection is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, high-humidity installations, and applications where galvanic compatibility with surrounding stainless components is a concern. The lead free designation makes it suitable for drinking water service in jurisdictions that enforce lead free plumbing product standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the system completely before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to snug-plus-wrench-turns using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten stainless fittings to avoid galling the threads. Verify local code compliance, particularly regarding lead free material requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act or applicable state plumbing codes.
