Merit Brass 6024-1000 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40 316 316L

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6024-1000 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe, manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel using a welded construction method. Pipe nipples of this specification are standard fittings used to connect or extend pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The 316 and 316L grades provide improved corrosion resistance compared to 304 series stainless, making this nipple appropriate for applications involving moisture, mild chemicals, or corrosive process fluids. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of threaded fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where stainless steel construction is specified or required. Common applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, industrial process piping, and plumbing rough-in work. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for 1-1/2 inch pipe systems. The 1-1/2 inch thread size matches the pipe size, allowing direct connection to NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment.
