Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness and manufactured from Grade 316\/316L stainless steel, this nipple delivers reliable performance in systems where moisture, chemicals, or elevated temperatures are a concern. The 1\/8 inch pipe size makes it suitable for small-bore instrumentation, chemical feed lines, and compressed-air or fluid distribution headers. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers. The seamless construction eliminates weld-seam vulnerabilities, making it a preferred choice in demanding service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where Grade 316\/316L stainless steel is specified for its superior chloride and pitting resistance compared to Grade 304. Common applications include chemical processing lines, marine environments, food-service and sanitary piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and general plumbing where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 1\/8 inch pipe size is frequently found in instrumentation take-offs, gauge connections, and low-flow distribution branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction eliminates weld-seam weak points for consistent wall integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L dual-certified stainless steel provides strong chloride and pitting resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness supports higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch pipe size suited for instrumentation, gauge connections, and small-bore branch lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends for standard NPT pipe fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1\/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 80, Grade 316\/316L stainless steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure. Avoid over-torquing threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can permanently seize the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel Grade 316\/316L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.21 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: 6502-1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542544613682,"sku":"6502-1000","price":53.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_46942ca6-1abe-43e4-9ef4-85507b626c37.jpg?v=1785903327","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6502-1000-ss-pipe-nipple-1-8-in-sch-80-316-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
