Midland Industries 48024 Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Mpt Sch 40 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 48024 is a welded pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Machined from 304 stainless steel to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple carries a 150 psi pressure rating and conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 dimensional standards. Both ends are male pipe thread (MPT) at 1/4 inch with a 1/4-18 thread specification. The overall length is 3 inches and the outside diameter is 1/4 inch. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on corrosion-resistant pipe assemblies will find this fitting suitable for both above-ground and exposed service environments where stainless material is specified.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial piping systems requiring a short, rigid threaded connection between two female-threaded fittings or components. Common applications include gas supply lines, water distribution, steam service, and instrumentation connections where 304 stainless steel is called for to resist corrosion or meet material specifications. It is well-suited for Schedule 40 piping assemblies and fits into standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and manifolds.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated to 150 psi working pressure
• Both ends 1/4 in MPT with 1/4-18 thread per ANSI B1.20.1
• 3 inch overall length provides a short, rigid close nipple extension
• Welded construction for consistent dimensional integrity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for Schedule 40 threaded piping assemblies using 1/4 inch NPT connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes for the service type. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal without over-torquing the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting.
