Merit Brass 4512-7200 Ss Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 80 Gr 304

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4512-7200 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for high-pressure and corrosion-resistant piping applications. Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness and manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, this nipple delivers the structural integrity and chemical resistance required in demanding mechanical, plumbing, and industrial service environments. The 3/4 inch pipe size fits standard threaded piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC/mechanical contractors rely on Schedule 80 fittings where heavier wall construction is required by code or system design. Grade 304 stainless resists oxidation and general corrosion in a wide range of service conditions.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority, including water service, chemical handling, and process piping. Its seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under pressure cycling or thermal stress. Typical install scenarios include connecting valves, gauges, pumps, or threaded equipment in tight inline configurations. It is also commonly used in food-service, marine, and outdoor mechanical installations where carbon steel would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Seamless manufacture eliminates weld seams for improved pressure integrity
• Schedule 80 wall thickness meets heavy-duty service requirements
• 3/4 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded systems
• Suitable for a wide range of mechanical, plumbing, and process piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard 3/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 80 Grade 304 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling of threads can occur.
