It is designed for use in piping systems that require corrosion resistance, pressure integrity, and compatibility with aggressive media. The 316\/316L dual-certified grade offers both standard and low-carbon properties, making it suitable for applications where weld heat zones or post-weld service conditions are a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping systems. The nipple weighs 0.662 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, process lines, and similar systems where 1\/2-inch threaded stainless connections are specified. Grade 316\/316L construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to chlorides, mild acids, or saline conditions, such as coastal installations, chemical handling lines, marine service piping, and food-service or sanitary plumbing systems. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure and flow requirements for 1\/2-inch service lines in these applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L dual-certified stainless steel for broad corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWelded construction with Schedule 40 wall thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch pipe size with 1\/2-inch thread size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-carbon 316L grade reduces sensitization risk in welded or high-heat applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit component for 1\/2-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems requiring Grade 316 or 316L fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and the intended service media. Avoid over-torquing NPT threads, as stainless fittings can gall if excessive force is applied without proper lubricant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\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: 0.662 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: 6008-1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541455896882,"sku":"6008-1000","price":26.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cb510cf1888dd20b1041ed970a1e9521.jpg?v=1785876602","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6008-1000-ss-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-sch-40-316-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
