Merit Brass 4032-2400 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4032-2400 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple rated for 2-inch pipe in Schedule 40 wall thickness. Manufactured from Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of fluid and gas transfer applications. At 6.66 pounds, the part is built for durability in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when connecting threaded pipe runs in commercial and industrial systems where material compatibility and schedule consistency are critical.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process piping, and other threaded pipe assemblies requiring stainless steel construction. Grade 304 and 304L stainless is a common specification in food service, chemical handling, and corrosive environment installations. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard flow and pressure requirements for most commercial and light industrial service conditions. The 2-inch nominal pipe size accommodates moderate- to high-volume flow runs.

• 2-inch nominal pipe size for moderate- to high-volume flow applications
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 2-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium. Avoid over-torquing threaded connections on stainless fittings, as galling can occur without proper anti-seize compound or rated thread sealant.
