Manufactured from Grade 304\/304L stainless steel using a welded construction, this 1\/2-inch nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for water, steam, and a broad range of chemical service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where standard carbon steel or brass nipples would be vulnerable to rust or chemical attack. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for residential and light commercial service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where stainless steel is required by code, system design, or service conditions. Common applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, steam service, chemical transfer, and HVAC hydronic systems. The 1\/2-inch pipe size is one of the most common sizes in residential and light commercial trade work, fitting standard NPT fittings and valves throughout the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 304\/304L stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded tube construction meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for water, steam, compressed air, and chemical service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using 1\/2-inch NPT connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded stainless fittings, as galling of the threads can occur if excessive torque is applied without lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 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: 2.32 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: 4008-3600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540974272818,"sku":"4008-3600","price":163.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_4a7d45f2-d163-40c4-ba0d-19aedb46b17b.jpg?v=1785866848","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-4008-3600-ss-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-sch-40-304-304l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
