Merit Brass 4532-7200PE Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80 Ss 304

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 4532-7200PE is a Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 2-inch pipe. Constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. The seamless construction eliminates a weld seam, reducing potential failure points under pressure and cyclic stress. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings than standard Schedule 40, making this nipple appropriate for higher-pressure systems in industrial, commercial, and mechanical installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial fluid handling where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Grade 304 stainless performs well in environments exposed to moisture, mild acids, and a broad range of process media. Schedule 80 seamless nipples are commonly specified in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, chemical handling lines, and commercial plumbing rough-in where the piping code or system design calls for heavier wall construction.

Key Features

• Grade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and process environments
• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential leak and failure points
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings versus standard Schedule 40
• 2-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves of matching size
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or ASME B31.3 for process piping. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media and pressure class of the system. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
