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

1" x 2-1/2" Stainless Steel Nipple – Machined for Strength and Corrosion Resistance

The 1" x 2-1/2" stainless steel nipple is manufactured to deliver secure, corrosion-resistant pipe connections in high-demand plumbing and mechanical applications. Fabricated from Schedule 40 stainless steel, this component is ideal for systems requiring strength, precision, and chemical resistance under both pressure and temperature variations.

Product Highlights

• ✅ Material: 304 Stainless Steel – Offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, suitable for potable water, chemical lines, and industrial systems.
• ✅ Threaded Ends: Male NPT x Male NPT – Precision-cut threads ensure compatibility with ANSI B1.20.1 threaded fittings.
• ✅ Fabrication: Fully machined nipple cut to 2-1/2" length with beveled ends for clean engagement and minimal galling during installation.
• ✅ Working Pressure: Conforms to Schedule 40 ratings – Suitable for moderate to high-pressure applications depending on system requirements.

Common Applications

This nipple is frequently used in:

• Domestic water distribution systems where corrosion resistance is critical
• Connection of process equipment in food-grade or sanitary installations
• Hydronic and boiler system piping transitions
• Industrial compressed air lines

Installation Guidelines

Install using appropriate thread sealants such as PTFE tape or anaerobic pipe thread compound. Avoid over-tightening to reduce risk of thread damage. Always verify compatibility with adjacent materials to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1"
• Length: 2-1/2"
• Schedule: 40
• Connection Type: Male National Pipe Thread (NPT) both ends
