Value Collection 38528 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 Grade 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38528 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-inch pipe, constructed from Grade 304 stainless steel using a welded process. Pipe nipples serve as short-length threaded connectors used to join sections of pipe or to connect pipe to fittings, valves, and equipment in fluid and gas systems. This nipple is suited for plumbing, HVAC, industrial piping, and process systems where corrosion resistance is required. At 1.679 pounds, it delivers solid mass consistent with Schedule 40 wall thickness. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of routine system assembly and repair.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where Grade 304 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance against water, mild chemicals, and general-purpose fluids. It fits into standard 1-inch threaded pipe systems and is commonly used in potable water lines, hydronic heating systems, steam systems, and industrial process piping where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets pressure requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as Grade 304 stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
