Manufactured from Grade 316\/316L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 80 wall thickness standards, making it suitable for demanding fluid handling and industrial process applications. The 316L designation indicates a low-carbon variant, which reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding and improves corrosion resistance in chloride-rich and chemical environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component as part of threaded assemblies in systems handling corrosive media, high temperatures, or sanitary process fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, chemical processing lines, marine installations, and food-grade or sanitary piping applications where standard carbon steel or brass fittings are not appropriate. The 1-1\/2 inch pipe size and NPT-compatible threading allow direct integration into standard Schedule 80 threaded piping assemblies. Its seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under pressure cycling or thermal expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316\/316L seamless stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for high-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch pipe size with standard NPT-compatible threaded ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-carbon 316L grade minimizes carbide precipitation risk in welded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless construction eliminates weld seam failure points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-1\/2 inch Schedule 80 threaded stainless steel piping systems.\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 completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and compatible with the system media. Avoid over-torquing threaded connections, as excessive force can damage stainless steel threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel Grade 316\/316L\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: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\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: 1.65 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: 6524-550\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543510974770,"sku":"6524-550","price":144.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d0bdd88c092a1a4f074ed0b56a459339_2e4ed984-65cc-4822-8087-757fefb39581.jpg?v=1785919733","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-6524-550-ss-pipe-nipple-1-1-2-in-sch-80-316l","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
