1-1/4 inch x 2-1/2 inch Stainless Steel Nipple

1-1/4" x 2-1/2" Stainless Steel Nipple – For High-Integrity Piping Connections

The 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" Stainless Steel Nipple is fabricated to deliver robust, pressure-rated connections for systems requiring superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Precision-cut threads and uniform wall thickness ensure reliable mating with compatible threaded components in commercial, industrial, and mechanical piping systems.

Performance Advantages

• Material Composition: Manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to oxidation, chemicals, and high temperatures.
• Thread Specification: NPT (National Pipe Tapered) threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 for consistent fit and sealing capability.
• Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for potable water, chemical lines, and steam applications in corrosive or humid environments.
• Structural Integrity: Cold-formed or welded to maintain consistent tensile strength and dimensional accuracy throughout the service life.
• Pressure Compatibility: Rated for use in low- to moderate-pressure systems, including potable water, process piping, and HVAC infrastructure.

Installation Guidelines

Threaded installation should follow industry-recommended practices including use of approved thread sealants such as PTFE tape or anaerobic compound. Apply torque evenly to avoid over-tightening, which may distort threads and compromise sealing integrity. Pipe vises or calibrated wrenches are recommended for accurate assembly.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch
• Overall Length: 2-1/2 inch
• Connection Type: Male NPT x Male NPT
• Material Grade: Type 304 or Type 316 Stainless Steel
