Merit Brass 6532-6000 Ss Pipe Nipple 2 in Grade 316 Sch 80

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6532-6000 is a Grade 316 stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 2-inch pipe, constructed seamlessly to Schedule 80 wall thickness. Schedule 80 provides a heavier wall than Schedule 40, making this nipple suitable for higher-pressure service and corrosive environments. Grade 316 stainless steel offers improved resistance to chlorides, acids, and other aggressive media compared to Grade 304. This nipple is a standard threaded fitting used by plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial mechanics to extend or connect pipe runs in demanding process and mechanical systems.

This pipe nipple is well suited for use in commercial and industrial plumbing, chemical process lines, marine installations, food service piping, and other applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Its seamless construction eliminates weld seams that can be points of failure under cyclic stress or corrosive exposure. The 2-inch pipe size fits into standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same size.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in chloride and acidic environments
• Seamless construction eliminates weld-zone weak points
• Schedule 80 heavy-wall thickness for elevated-pressure service
• 2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT connections
• Suitable for industrial, commercial, and marine piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch NPT-threaded pipe, valves, and fittings in Schedule 80 stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and compatible with the conveyed media. Avoid over-torquing NPT threads on stainless fittings, as galling can occur when mating stainless-to-stainless connections without proper anti-seize compound.
