Constructed seamless to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this nipple delivers the pressure rating and corrosion resistance required in industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications. The Grade 316 alloy provides superior resistance to chlorides and corrosive media compared to Grade 304, making it the preferred choice in chemical, marine, and process piping environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically select this nipple where code or system design calls for stainless fittings with a heavier wall specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, process piping, HVAC hydronic loops, and industrial fluid lines where stainless steel is required. The 3\/8 inch pipe size fits common branch connections, instrument taps, and low-flow service lines. Schedule 80 wall construction is specified where elevated pressure ratings or mechanical durability are required over standard Schedule 40 fittings.\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 chloride-rich and aggressive media environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction eliminates weld seam vulnerabilities, supporting consistent wall integrity throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness provides a heavier-duty pressure rating than Schedule 40 equivalents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch pipe size suits branch connections, instrument taps, and low-flow service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPT threads standard for straightforward integration into existing piping systems\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 for 3\/8 inch Schedule 80 stainless steel piping systems where Grade 316 material is specified.\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 or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the media being handled. Avoid over-tightening, which can stress the nipple threads or downstream fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\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: 3\/8 inches\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: 6506-7200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542937862450,"sku":"6506-7200","price":732.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/919a8c936871f3129ecd5bde8559d5b2_64b3f7fd-4b92-4326-b894-6fc8c7483201.jpg?v=1785911628","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6506-7200-ss-pipe-nipple-3-8-in-grade-316-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
