Merit Brass 6516-2400 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Grade 316 Sch 80

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6516-2400 is a Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-inch pipe. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel, this nipple delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas piping systems. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under pressure. It is suited for plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping applications where material integrity and corrosion resistance are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in both commercial and industrial settings.

This pipe nipple is designed for use in systems requiring Grade 316 stainless steel, including chemical processing lines, marine environments, food service piping, and corrosive fluid handling. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure-bearing capacity compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs. It connects to standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Seamless pipe body eliminates weld seams and associated weak points
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capacity
• 1-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded connections
• Suitable for chemical, marine, food service, and industrial fluid applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Grade 316 seamless Schedule 80 stainless steel pipe nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service fluid. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, which can damage the fitting or mating threads.
