Merit Brass 4532-2400 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4532-2400 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for high-pressure and corrosion-resistant piping applications. Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel and rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple delivers the strength and chemical resistance required in demanding mechanical, industrial, and plumbing systems. The heavier Schedule 80 wall provides increased pressure-bearing capability compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting where system integrity, corrosion resistance, and longevity are critical priorities.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where stainless steel is specified. Common applications include chemical processing lines, food-service and sanitary piping, steam and hot-water distribution, and any system where iron or carbon steel fittings are unsuitable due to corrosion or contamination concerns. The 2-inch pipe size makes it compatible with standard 2-inch NPT threaded connections throughout a system.

Key Features

• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under pressure
• Grade 304 stainless steel provides broad corrosion resistance against water, steam, and many chemicals
• Schedule 80 wall thickness delivers greater pressure capacity than Schedule 40 of the same pipe size
• 2-inch pipe size fits standard 2-inch NPT threaded fittings and valves
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard stocking fitting for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and the conveyed medium. Avoid over-torquing threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
