Midland Industries 48082 3/4 in Mpt Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 48082 is a welded pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical applications. It features 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends and measures 2 inches in overall length. Constructed from 304 stainless steel at a Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple offers corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and compatible fluid systems. It is rated to 150 psi and conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 thread dimensional standards. The part weighs approximately 0.14 pounds and is suitable for use anywhere a close-tolerance, corrosion-resistant threaded connector is required.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping installations where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or hygiene requirements. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air systems, and process piping. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both new construction and retrofit service work. The 3/4-inch diameter and SCH 40 rating make it a standard fit across a wide range of threaded pipe assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe nipple compatible with NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads prior to assembly. Do not overtighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur; use a properly sized pipe wrench and follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code torque guidance.
