Merit Brass 6524-350 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80 316 316L

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6524-350 is a Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel pipe nipple in 1-1/2 inch pipe size, manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, making it well suited for high-pressure and corrosion-sensitive piping systems. Grade 316/316L provides enhanced resistance to chlorides and chemical attack compared to standard 304 stainless, making this nipple a reliable choice for industrial, marine, chemical, and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are both critical requirements.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial piping systems handling corrosive fluids, chemicals, salt water, or high-purity media. The 1-1/2 inch pipe size and Schedule 80 wall thickness suit applications requiring heavier wall construction and greater pressure ratings than standard Schedule 40 fittings. It fits into threaded piping systems wherever a short section of pipe is needed to connect fittings, valves, or equipment.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel for superior chloride and chemical corrosion resistance
• Seamless construction for uniform wall thickness and no weld-seam weak points
• Schedule 80 heavy wall for higher pressure ratings versus standard Schedule 40
• 1-1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1-1/2 inch thread size
• Dual-certified 316/316L material meets both standard and low-carbon grade requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded stainless steel piping systems requiring 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 seamless fittings in Grade 316 or 316L material.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid and compatible with stainless steel. Avoid over-torquing threaded stainless fittings, as galling of the threads is a known risk with stainless-to-stainless connections.
