Midland Industries 48083 Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Mpt Sch 40 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 48083 is a welded pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, this nipple measures 2.5 inches in length with a 3/4-inch diameter and carries a Schedule 40 wall rating. Both ends are male pipe thread (MPT) sized at 3/4 inch with a 3/4-14 thread specification conforming to ANSI B1.20.1. It is rated for 150 psi service pressure. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in systems where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where 304 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Typical use cases include water supply lines, industrial process piping, and mechanical room connections. The Schedule 40 wall thickness supports standard working pressures in these environments. Its compact 2.5-inch length makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections between valves, tees, or other threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; follow standard wrench-turns-past-hand-tight practice for the fitting material and application.
