Produced from Grade 304\/304L stainless steel, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in plumbing, process piping, and mechanical system applications. The dual-grade 304\/304L designation means it meets both standard and low-carbon requirements, making it suitable for environments where post-weld corrosion resistance is a concern. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a standard threaded connector between fittings, valves, and equipment in a wide range of systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process lines, and similar applications that call for a corrosion-resistant threaded steel connector. The Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in water, steam, and compatible fluid systems. Its stainless construction makes it a common choice in corrosive or wet environments where carbon steel nipples would be prone to rust or chemical attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 304\/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction to Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch pipe size for standard threaded connections to compatible fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-grade 304\/304L designation meets low-carbon requirements for post-weld corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for streamlined procurement and catalog matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded 3\/8 inch stainless steel piping systems using Schedule 40 fittings and valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using appropriate pipe wrenches and thread sealant rated for the service fluid. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape per manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing code requirements such as the IPC or IFGC. Avoid over-torquing threaded stainless connections, as galling of stainless threads can occur without proper anti-seize or sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304\/304L Stainless Steel\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 4006-4800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543540957490,"sku":"4006-4800","price":246.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_f53fc294-7174-423d-b956-28d6780e3465.jpg?v=1785920149","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-4006-4800-stainless-steel-pipe-nipple-3-8-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
