Stainless steel nipple for plumbing

This 304 stainless steel nipple measures 2-1/2" x 12" and is designed for pipe connections in plumbing systems. The 304 alloy provides corrosion resistance for water and general fluid transfer applications. It suits installers who need a durable, straight-threaded fitting for permanent or semi-permanent assemblies.

Replaces worn or corroded pipe sections

The nipple upgrades older carbon steel or galvanized fittings that have degraded over time. The jump is worth it when the existing line shows scaling, leaks or discoloration from rust. 304 stainless steel eliminates the need for sacrificial anodes or frequent thread sealant replacement in aggressive water conditions.

Fits standard NPT threading in tight runs

The 12" length bridges gaps between elbows, valves or equipment without extra couplings. It requires compatible 2-1/2" female threads on both ends and adequate clearance for a pipe wrench during installation. The fitting frees up space by removing the need for multiple shorter nipples and union joints.
