Midland Industries 48141 Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40 Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 48141 is a welded pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems requiring corrosion-resistant connections. Machined from 304 stainless steel and rated Schedule 40, this close-pattern nipple measures 2 inches in length with 1-1/2-inch male pipe threads (MPT) on both ends conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 standards. It carries a 150 psi pressure rating, making it suited for a range of fluid-handling, plumbing, and industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting when assembling or extending stainless steel threaded pipe runs where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are priorities.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, and industrial systems where 1-1/2-inch Schedule 40 threaded connections are specified. Typical applications include water supply lines, chemical transfer systems, food-service piping, and any installation requiring a short, rigid threaded coupling between two female-threaded ports or valves. Its 304 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or sanitary requirements.

Key Features

• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated to 150 psi
• 1-1/2-inch MPT on both ends conforming to ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards
• Compact 2-inch length for tight-space installations
• Welded construction for consistent thread engagement and joint integrity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems using 1-1/2-inch NPT female connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-snug plus a wrench-tight finish without over-torquing stainless threads. Inspect threads for damage before installation to prevent cross-threading or leaks.
