Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6012-2400 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in piping systems that require corrosion-resistant fittings. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to chlorides and harsh process environments. The nipple is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard-pressure piping assemblies. At 2.1 pounds, it is a solid, reliable fitting suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical systems where material integrity is critical.

This pipe nipple is sized at 3/4 inch pipe and is appropriate for use in fluid handling, chemical processing, marine, or HVAC piping applications where stainless steel is specified. Schedule 40 construction makes it a direct fit for standard threaded piping layouts. Its 316/316L dual-grade certification gives it added versatility for low-carbon welding applications and high-purity system requirements. Plumbers and pipefitters working on corrosive-fluid or wet-service installations will find this fitting well suited to demanding service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC where adopted.
