Midland Industries 52165 Sch 80 Ss Pipe Nipple 2 in Mpt 4.5 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 52165 is a seamless Schedule 80 pipe nipple manufactured from 316 stainless steel. It features 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends and measures 4.5 inches in length with a 2-inch diameter. Rated at 3000 psi and conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 dimensional standards, this nipple is built for demanding service environments where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in process piping, steam systems, and industrial plumbing applications where standard carbon steel fittings are not suitable.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems carrying air, water, oil, natural gas, or steam. The seamless 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for corrosive or high-purity environments such as chemical processing, marine installations, food service, and industrial mechanical systems. The 2-11-1/2 NPT thread form ensures a standard, leak-resistant connection when used with compatible pipe, couplings, or valves in Schedule 80 assemblies.

Key Features

• Seamless 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated to 3000 psi pressure class
• 2 in MPT x 2 in MPT connections with 2-11-1/2 thread form
• ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 compliant dimensional standard
• Compatible with air, water, oil, natural gas, and steam media
• 4.5 in overall length suits close-quarter nipple installations

Compatibility

Designed for use in Schedule 80 piping assemblies carrying air, water, oil, natural gas, or steam. Suitable for use with any standard 2 in NPT-threaded fittings, couplings, or valves conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended media, including steam or gas service as applicable. Do not over-torque the fitting, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
