Merit Brass 6524-7200 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 80 Grade 316

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6524-7200 is a Schedule 80 seamless stainless steel pipe nipple in a 1-1/2 inch pipe size, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. This nipple is designed to connect sections of threaded pipe in systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure capacity compared to standard-weight fittings, and the seamless construction eliminates weld seams that can be points of failure in high-stress or corrosive service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component in a wide range of industrial and commercial piping systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, and fluid handling systems where exposure to corrosive media, moisture, or high-pressure conditions is expected. Grade 316 stainless steel offers superior resistance to chlorides and many chemical solutions compared to Grade 304, making this nipple appropriate for marine, chemical processing, food service, and similar demanding applications. It threads directly into compatible Schedule 80 fittings, valves, and manifolds.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion and chloride resistance
• Seamless pipe body eliminates weld-related stress points
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher working pressures than standard weight
• 1-1/2 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch NPT connections in commercial, industrial, and trade plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes for the jurisdiction. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media to all male threads before making up connections. Avoid over-torquing threaded joints in stainless steel fittings, as galling of threads can occur.
