It is manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness from Grade 316\/316L stainless steel, giving it strong resistance to corrosion and chloride environments. This nipple is used to make short threaded connections in piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting where corrosion resistance and schedule-rated wall thickness are required by specification or code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems that require corrosion-resistant fittings. Grade 316\/316L stainless steel performs well in chemical process lines, marine environments, potable water systems, and steam or compressed-air piping. It is a common choice when the connected piping or equipment calls out 316 or 316L stainless for corrosion or sanitary reasons. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets typical pressure requirements for standard service conditions in these systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction to Schedule 40 wall thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch pipe size for use in standard NPT-threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for chemical, marine, potable water, steam, and compressed-air service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 3\/8-inch NPT-threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 40, Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel nipples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or mechanical code requirements. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings or equipment. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 \/ 316L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 6006-4800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540448936242,"sku":"6006-4800","price":227.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_1c32f86e-6a07-4893-bfd3-5eeaa1011174.jpg?v=1785855497","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6006-4800-stainless-steel-pipe-nipple-3-8-in-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
