Merit Brass 4124-250 Ss Welded Nipple 1.5 X 2.5 Inch 304

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4124-250 is a 304 stainless steel welded pipe nipple sized at 1-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Manufactured domestically from 304 stainless steel, this nipple provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or high-moisture environments. The welded construction delivers consistent wall integrity suitable for standard-pressure service. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a close connector between threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple fits standard threaded pipe systems where 304 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Common applications include commercial plumbing, food service piping, chemical handling, marine installations, and HVAC hydronic systems. The 1-1/2 inch by 2-1/2 inch size suits close-coupled connections in moderate-flow lines. Domestic manufacture supports project specifications requiring USA-origin fittings.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded 1-1/2 inch pipe systems requiring 304 stainless steel fittings in plumbing, mechanical, or industrial piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install threaded nipples in accordance with IPC and applicable local mechanical codes. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve proper thread engagement without over-torquing, which can crack fittings or distort threads. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting.
