1 inch x 5 inch Stainless Steel Nipple

1" x 5" Stainless Steel Nipple – Built for Industrial-Grade Plumbing Applications

The 1" x 5" Stainless Steel Nipple is a high-performance component engineered to deliver strength, longevity, and corrosion resistance in a wide range of plumbing and mechanical systems. Manufactured from premium stainless steel, this fitting is suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications where reliability and safety are non-negotiable.

Technical Advantages

• ✅ Material Composition: Fabricated from 304 or 316 stainless steel, providing exceptional resistance to oxidation, corrosive media, and mechanical stress.
• ✅ Manufacturing Tolerances: Machined to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 specifications for NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading, ensuring compatibility with standard threaded pipe systems.
• ✅ Pressure Handling: Suitable for systems requiring high-pressure containment, such as hydronic heating loops, chemical processing lines, and industrial-grade fluid systems.
• ✅ Service Environment: Performs reliably in harsh conditions including outdoor installations, caustic environments, and potable water systems.

Installation Considerations

Proper installation requires thread preparation with PTFE tape or pipe joint compound to ensure a leak-resistant seal. Torque specifications should align with applicable code requirements to prevent thread deformation. It is recommended that this fitting be installed by trained personnel familiar with metallic pipe systems.

Common Applications

This stainless steel nipple is frequently used in the following systems:

• ✓ Potable water lines (when using lead-free stainless grades)
• ✓ HVAC systems for chilled or hot water loops
• ✓ Fuel and gas distribution networks
• ✓ Compressed air and vacuum piping
• ✓ Fire protection and industrial process piping

Specifications

• Nominal Pipe Size: 1 inch
• Length: 5 inches
• Connection: Threaded male ends (NPT)
• Material Grade: 304/316 Stainless Steel
• Standards: Conforms to ASTM A733 and ANSI B1.20.1 for threaded fittings

Note

Stainless steel nipples must be selected based on fluid compatibility, pressure ratings, and temperature requirements. Always verify material grade and specifications against project requirements before installation.
