Built for demanding fluid and gas piping systems, this nipple provides a corrosion-resistant threaded connection suited to chemical, marine, and industrial process environments. The 1\/2 inch pipe size and seamless construction make it a reliable choice wherever wall integrity and resistance to pitting or crevice corrosion are required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting as part of threaded stainless piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC piping, process piping, and marine applications where Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel is specified for its elevated molybdenum content and improved chloride resistance. The Schedule 80 wall thickness accommodates higher-pressure service conditions compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings. It is commonly used in chemical processing, food service, and salt-air environments where carbon steel or lower-grade alloys are not acceptable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction eliminates weld seams that can be weak points under pressure or cyclic stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L dual certification provides compatibility with both standard and low-carbon stainless specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness supports higher working pressures than Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch pipe size with matching 1\/2 inch thread size for direct connection to standard NPT fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel material resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine service environments\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 1\/2 inch NPT threaded stainless steel piping systems requiring Schedule 80 wall thickness and Grade 316 or 316L material certification.\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 the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code or relevant local code. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply a PTFE thread sealant or thread compound rated for stainless steel to avoid galling during assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel threaded connections, as the material is prone to thread galling without proper lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 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\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 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: 0.72 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: 6508-1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539277218098,"sku":"6508-1000","price":86.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_cf96d5a3-5c48-4793-a1bd-49228e16355e.jpg?v=1785837658","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6508-1000-ss-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-sch-80-316-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
