This nipple provides a threaded connection point in piping assemblies where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are required. It carries a nominal pipe size of 1\/4 inch with matching 1\/4-inch thread size. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in fluid handling, instrumentation, and process piping systems where stainless material is called for by design or code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and process piping, and industrial instrumentation lines where Grade 304 or 304L stainless steel is specified. The 304L designation indicates a low-carbon variant, which reduces the risk of sensitization during welding, making it appropriate for fabricated assemblies and systems that see elevated service temperatures or require weld-adjacent fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 304\/304L stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch nominal pipe size with 1\/4-inch NPT thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-carbon 304L alloy minimizes sensitization risk in welded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.044 pounds for easy handling in close-quarter installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems using 1\/4-inch NPT threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service fluid. Do not overtighten NPT threads, as stainless steel is susceptible to galling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 \/ 304L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.044 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4004-150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716985225522,"sku":"4004-150","price":49.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c44b826483aa57dc163f67b107a49b8.jpg?v=1788534449","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-4004-150-stainless-steel-pipe-nipple-1-4-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
