This nipple is designed to extend, connect, or offset threaded pipe runs in systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316\/316L offers superior resistance to chlorides and other aggressive media compared to Grade 304, making it suitable for demanding fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple in systems where a durable, pressure-rated threaded connection is required. At 2.32 pounds, the component ships individually and is rated for Schedule 40 wall thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple fits into residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid-handling installations where stainless steel is specified. Its 1\/2-inch pipe size and Schedule 40 wall thickness make it a standard choice for water supply, steam, chemical, or marine-adjacent applications where Grade 316\/316L stainless is required by spec or code. Welded construction meets typical Schedule 40 pressure requirements for these system types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L stainless steel for enhanced chloride and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWelded construction meets common Schedule 40 specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for water, steam, chemical, and marine-adjacent service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1\/2-inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 40, Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before making up the joint. Do not over-torque threaded connections on stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 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\u003ePipe 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: 2.32 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: 6008-3600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541373026610,"sku":"6008-3600","price":340.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_6375c363-5649-4b3e-9d59-68d5bfd5ce16.jpg?v=1785873926","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6008-3600-ss-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-sch-40-316-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
