This nipple is a short threaded fitting used to connect two female-threaded ports or extend a pipe run in tight-clearance plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The 316\/316L dual-grade designation makes it suitable for corrosive service environments where standard carbon steel or lower-grade stainless fittings would degrade prematurely. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, and industrial process lines where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. The 1\/8 inch pipe size suits instrument connections, gauge ports, and small-diameter branch lines. The welded Schedule 40 construction supports standard working pressures associated with that wall rating, and the 316\/316L grade performs well in chloride-rich or chemically aggressive environments such as coastal installations, chemical handling, and food-service piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L dual-certified stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance in aggressive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness provides standard pressure rating for threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction for consistent wall integrity throughout the fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch pipe size fits instrument ports, gauge taps, and small-diameter branch connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1\/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 40, Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC codes for threaded pipe assemblies. Isolate and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads on small-diameter nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 \/ 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6002-6000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540053655858,"sku":"6002-6000","price":211.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_50f77efd-fb5f-4e5f-9aad-3e6cfe3a4c7e.jpg?v=1785846006","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6002-6000-ss-pipe-nipple-1-8-in-sch-40-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
