Manufactured from Grade 316\/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments where standard steel or brass fittings fall short. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under pressure or thermal cycling. It is a standard threaded fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians when connecting pipe runs in corrosive or high-purity service conditions. The 316\/316L dual-grade designation makes it suitable for applications requiring both weld and non-weld compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is well suited for residential and commercial plumbing, chemical process lines, food-grade systems, and marine or coastal installations where chloride exposure is a concern. The 1\/8-inch pipe size fits small-diameter threaded connections typical of instrumentation, gauge ports, and low-flow service lines. It is also used in HVAC hydronic systems and steam applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance including chloride environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction eliminates weld seams for improved pressure integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-grade 316\/316L designation meets both standard and weld-compliance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 1\/8-inch pipe systems requiring Schedule 80 stainless steel fittings in corrosive or high-purity service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and the intended service medium. Avoid over-torquing NPT threads, as stainless steel is susceptible to galling without proper anti-seize compound or sealant tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\/316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.148 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: 6502-550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542244917554,"sku":"6502-550","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_5d7b14b9-97a7-480b-857c-3d27c748bbcb.jpg?v=1785896258","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6502-550-ss-pipe-nipple-1-8-in-sch-80-316-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
