Midland Industries 51202 Sch 80 Pipe Nipple 3 in Mpt Ss

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 51202 is a Schedule 80 seamless pipe nipple constructed from 304 stainless steel, designed for high-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. It features 3-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends and measures 3-1/2 inches in length with a 3-inch diameter. The seamless construction and SCH 80 wall thickness support a pressure rating of 3000 psi, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in commercial and industrial piping applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

This nipple is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service. Its 304 stainless steel body resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, and high-temperature environments, making it a common choice in process piping, mechanical rooms, and utility distribution systems. The fitting conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread dimension standards, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT piping components across residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC references where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not overtighten connections; use a pipe wrench on the fitting body, not on the threads, to avoid galling the stainless steel.
