Merit Brass 6532-800 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 6532-800 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in demanding piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple provides reliable service in corrosive fluid, chemical, and high-pressure applications. Its seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential leak points and improving pressure ratings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in commercial, industrial, and marine piping systems where standard carbon steel or brass fittings are not suitable for the media or environment.

This nipple is suited for 2-inch pipe systems in a range of applications including process piping, chemical distribution, food-grade installations, and marine environments. Schedule 80 wall thickness makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40. Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel offer enhanced resistance to chlorides and acidic environments, making this fitting a common choice in coastal, chemical processing, and sanitary piping installations.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for improved pressure integrity and no weld-seam vulnerability
• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in chloride and acidic environments
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure piping service
• 2-inch pipe size with 2-inch thread size for standard NPT connections
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 2-inch Schedule 80 stainless steel piping systems using NPT-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded stainless steel pipe nipples is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Depressurize and isolate the piping system before beginning any fitting replacement or installation. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and compatible with the system media. Follow applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or ASME B31.3 for process piping when making up threaded stainless connections.
