Merit Brass 4032-3600 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4032-3600 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in demanding commercial and industrial plumbing applications. Constructed from Grade 304/304L stainless steel using a welded process, this nipple delivers reliable corrosion resistance and structural integrity in fluid-handling lines. At 9.99 pounds, it is a substantial fitting suited for systems where material grade and schedule compliance matter. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on corrosive-media or sanitary piping systems will find this nipple meets standard threaded-assembly requirements for Schedule 40 piping networks.

This pipe nipple is sized at 2 inches nominal pipe size, making it appropriate for mid-range commercial piping runs, process lines, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Grade 304 and 304L dual certification provides flexibility across weld-sensitive applications where low-carbon content is required to reduce sensitization risk. It installs in standard NPT threaded systems alongside compatible fittings, valves, and flanges.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L dual-certified stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance and weld compatibility
• Welded construction meeting Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded piping systems
• Low-carbon 304L grade reduces sensitization risk in weld-adjacent installations
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 classified for procurement and specification systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch Schedule 40 NPT threaded stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Always depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media being conveyed. Follow IPC and local code requirements for stainless steel threaded fittings in the applicable service environment.
