Merit Brass 6020-2400 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40 316 316L

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6020-2400 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/4 inch pipe, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness in Grade 316/316L stainless steel. This nipple is used to connect or extend threaded pipe runs in systems where corrosion resistance is critical. Grade 316/316L stainless offers superior resistance to chlorides and chemical exposure compared to Grade 304, making it a reliable choice in aggressive service environments. At 3.88 pounds, this is a solid, full-weight fitting suitable for pressure piping applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on industrial, commercial, or marine piping systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, HVAC hydronic systems, chemical handling, and marine applications where standard carbon steel or 304 stainless fittings would corrode prematurely. The welded construction and Schedule 40 wall thickness meet the demands of moderate- to high-pressure service. It is a common replacement or extension fitting in both new construction and retrofit piping projects requiring threaded stainless connections.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L dual-certified stainless steel for enhanced chloride and corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate- to high-pressure service
• Welded construction meets standard pipe nipple fabrication requirements
• 1-1/4 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• Suitable for plumbing, process, hydronic, and marine piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded stainless steel piping systems requiring Schedule 40 Grade 316 or 316L fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and the service fluid when making up threaded connections. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack or distort threaded stainless fittings.
