Midland Industries 48101 Pipe Nipple 1in Mpt Sch 40 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 48101 is a welded pipe nipple machined from 304 stainless steel and rated for Schedule 40 service. It carries male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends at 1 inch diameter, with a finished length of 2 inches. The 1-11-1/2 thread form conforms to ANSI B1.20.1 dimensional standards, ensuring consistent fit across standard NPT-threaded fittings. Rated to 150 psi, this nipple is suited for plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting as a close or short extension between threaded components.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications including water supply, compressed air, and compatible fluid systems where 304 stainless steel is specified. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness and 150 psi pressure rating make it a practical choice for general-purpose threaded connections in both new construction and retrofit work. It is sized for 1 inch nominal pipe and fits wherever a short male-to-male threaded extension is needed between valves, unions, or other threaded fittings.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and moderately aggressive environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated to 150 psi working pressure
• Both ends threaded 1 in MPT per ANSI B1.20.1 for interchangeable fit with standard NPT fittings
• 2 inch overall length suits close-coupled connection applications
• 1-11-1/2 thread form matches standard NPT thread count for 1 inch nominal pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1 inch nominal Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur if fittings are forced.
