Midland Industries 48081 Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 40 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 48081 is a Schedule 40 welded pipe nipple machined from 304 stainless steel for use in plumbing, industrial piping, and fluid transfer applications. It features 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends with a 3/4-14 thread form conforming to ANSI B1.20.1. The overall length is 1-1/2 inches and the pipe diameter is 3/4 inches. Rated at 150 psi, this nipple is suited for systems handling water, steam, mild chemicals, and other media where corrosion resistance is required. Its welded construction and 304 SS material make it a dependable choice for both new installations and maintenance replacements.

This nipple fits standard 3/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems found in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial process lines. The close-cut 1-1/2-inch length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance connections where a longer nipple would not fit. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly use this fitting when transitioning between valves, strainers, gauges, or other threaded components within a piped system.

Key Features

• Welded construction for consistent wall integrity throughout the nipple body

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. De-pressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up the joint - do not use sealant on the first one or two threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not over-torque, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
