Midland Industries 52101 Seamless Pipe Nipple 1in Mpt Sch 80

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 52101 is a seamless Schedule 80 pipe nipple constructed from 316 stainless steel for demanding fluid and gas service applications. Measuring 2 inches in length with a 1-inch diameter and male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends, this nipple is rated to 3000 psi and conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 dimensional standards. The 1-11-1/2 thread form ensures a consistent, leak-resistant joint when assembled with standard NPT fittings. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of close nipple where a short, high-pressure threaded connection is required in stainless piping systems.

This nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. It is rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service, making it a versatile fitting across HVAC, plumbing, and process piping installations. The 316 stainless steel alloy provides improved chloride resistance compared to 304 stainless, making it appropriate for coastal environments and chemical-adjacent applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated to 3000 psi working pressure
• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams for uniform pressure performance
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 dimensional standards for interchangeable NPT fitment
• Compatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service
• Lightweight at 0.294 pounds, suitable for confined-space installations

Compatibility

Rated for use with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam service piping systems. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 stainless steel NPT piping assemblies conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur - use a calibrated pipe wrench and follow standard NPT makeup-turn procedures.
