Merit Brass 4516-2400 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 80 Gr 304

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4516-2400 is a Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-inch pipe. It is manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential weak points under pressure and improving integrity in high-stress installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple when connecting threaded pipe runs in corrosive or high-moisture environments where carbon steel is not appropriate.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating systems, steam lines, and process piping where stainless steel is specified. Grade 304 stainless is a standard specification for water service, chemical exposure, and food-adjacent applications. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40 fittings. It threads directly into standard NPT fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Seamless fabrication eliminates weld seams for improved pressure integrity
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher-pressure applications
• 1-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• Suitable for plumbing, hydronic, steam, and light industrial piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 80 stainless steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following IPC and IFGC guidelines as applicable to the service type. Shut off system pressure and drain the line 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 if excessive force is applied.
