Merit Brass 4524-3600 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80 Gr 304

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4524-3600 is a Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, this nipple delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid-handling systems. The seamless construction eliminates weld-seam vulnerabilities, making it well suited for high-pressure and high-purity applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in process piping, plumbing, and HVAC hydronic systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or code compliance.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial installations where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for elevated pressure ratings or mechanical strength. Typical applications include potable water systems, steam service, chemical process lines, and corrosive-fluid handling where standard carbon steel or brass fittings are not acceptable. Its 1-1/2 inch pipe size fits common distribution headers, branch connections, and equipment tie-ins across a wide range of mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction provides broad corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Seamless manufacturing removes weld seams to reduce failure points under pressure
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher working pressures compared to Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT fittings and valves
• Suitable for steam, water, and mild chemical service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-1/2 inch NPT stainless steel piping systems requiring Schedule 80 seamless Grade 304 nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and temperature. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
