Banjo NIP050-SH Hex Nipple Trap 1/2 in MNPT Schedule 80 300 psi

Hex Nipple for Schedule 80 Piping

The Banjo NIP050-SH is a polypropylene hex nipple built for Schedule 80 pipe systems. It connects two 1/2 in MNPT fittings in plumbing and fluid-transfer installations. Rated to 300 psi maximum operating pressure, it suits industrial and agricultural lines that demand chemical resistance. The black HAWA material handles temperatures from -20 to 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Verify Thread Size and Pressure Rating

Confirm that both ports in your existing assembly are 1/2 in Male NPT with 14 threads per inch. Ensure the system design pressure does not exceed 300 psi at the planned operating temperature. Check that Schedule 80 wall thickness matches the piping standard already in use. Polypropylene is not compatible with every solvent or fuel, so review chemical compatibility charts before installation.

Schedule 80 Rating Defines the Use Case

The Schedule 80 classification means thicker walls than standard fittings, allowing the 300 psi rating across the full temperature range. This single-piece nipple replaces a separate coupling and short pipe nipple, reducing potential leak paths. No gaskets, sealant or software are included; the connection relies on proper NPT thread engagement. Buyers needing a different thread size, material or pressure class must select another model.
