Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple delivers greater pressure-handling capability than standard Schedule 40 fittings. The seamless construction eliminates a weld seam, reducing potential failure points in demanding service environments. It is used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where Grade 316 stainless steel is specified for its enhanced resistance to chlorides and corrosive media compared to Grade 304. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines. Typical installations include chemical feed lines, steam systems, marine-adjacent plumbing, and process piping where the fitting will be exposed to moisture, mild acids, or saline environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in aggressive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless manufacture eliminates weld-seam weak points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness supports higher operating pressures versus Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and cataloging compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1\/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 80 Grade 316 stainless steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of pipe nipples in pressurized systems should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC 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 media and pressure. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel threads, as galling can occur without proper lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316 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\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: 6504-4800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538980864306,"sku":"6504-4800","price":399.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/919a8c936871f3129ecd5bde8559d5b2_6e3866ac-8bc2-4ef9-8e29-6e4b20962ee3.jpg?v=1785831670","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6504-4800-ss-pipe-nipple-1-4-in-grade-316-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
