304 Stainless Steel Nipple

The Legend Valve 304-188 is a 304 stainless steel pipe nipple designed for plumbing installations that require corrosion-resistant connections. It suits professional installers and maintenance crews who need a reliable fitting for water, gas, or chemical lines in residential or commercial systems.

Threaded 304 SS Construction

The nipple is manufactured from 304 stainless steel, providing inherent resistance to rust and chemical attack without additional coatings. Its threaded ends allow direct engagement with standard NPT fittings, valves, or equipment, enabling quick assembly or disassembly during service work without specialised tools.

Replaces Carbon Steel Nipples

This fitting upgrades older carbon steel or galvanised nipples that can corrode, contaminate fluids, or seize in service over time. The jump is worth it when the system handles aggressive water chemistry, requires a cleaner interior surface, or must meet codes that prohibit ferrous materials in the flow path.
