Larsen Supply 32-1513 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/8x5 in Type 304

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 32-1513 is a Type 304 stainless steel pipe nipple rated for 150 LB service. It measures 1/8 inch in diameter by 5 inches in length and features male pipe thread on both ends. This nipple is lead free and designed to connect or extend pipe runs and fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting wherever a short threaded extension is needed between two threaded ports or female fittings. The Type 304 stainless construction resists corrosion in wet and moderately aggressive service environments.

This pipe nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing systems where corrosion resistance is a priority over standard galvanized or black iron fittings. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and process piping where lead-free compliance is required. The 1/8-inch diameter makes it appropriate for small-bore connections such as pressure gauge ports, instrument taps, and branch service lines. It is sold individually and packaged in a carded clamshell for retail or counter-display use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening and then wrench-tightening to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for the specific service type.
