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

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4512-7200PE is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch pipe, manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness from Grade 304 stainless steel. The heavier Schedule 80 wall provides increased pressure capacity and resistance to mechanical stress compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. Grade 304 stainless steel delivers solid corrosion resistance in a wide range of fluid and gas service applications. This nipple is used to make close or short threaded connections between pipe sections, valves, and fittings in plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, process lines, and mechanical piping where corrosion resistance and pressure ratings above standard carbon steel are required. Schedule 80 construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure services. Typical applications include water supply lines, chemical transfer, steam service, and food-grade or sanitary piping systems where stainless steel is specified by code or design.

Key Features

• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams for uniform wall integrity under pressure
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• Grade 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in water, steam, and mild chemical service
• 3/4 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or ASME B31.3 for process piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing threaded nipples. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and temperature. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall.
