Legend Valve 304-207 3" x 4-1/2" 304 Stainless Steel Nipple

SKU CH-SHEY-P44B4

A 3-inch by 4-1/2-inch 304 stainless steel pipe nipple for plumbing connections

  • 304 stainless steel resists corrosion in plumbing systems
  • 3 inch by 4-1/2 inch length fits standard pipe connections
  • Legend Valve brand delivers reliable fitting performance
  • New condition ensures clean threads and full service life
  • Proposition 65 notice informs safe handling practices

Material and dimensions

This 304 stainless steel pipe nipple measures 3 inches by 4-1/2 inches and is manufactured by Legend Valve. It serves as a straight connector for joining two female-threaded components in a plumbing system. The austenitic alloy provides general corrosion resistance for a range of water and gas applications.

Intended use and limitations

The fitting suits installers needing a durable, medium-length nipple for standard residential or light-commercial pipework. It is not intended for systems that require a different alloy grade, a longer or shorter overall length, or a non-threaded connection method. Buyers working with highly aggressive chemical lines should verify material compatibility before purchase.

Deciding specification

The 304 stainless steel construction is the primary factor determining whether this nipple matches the service requirements. This grade resists oxidation and typical potable water chemistry but behaves differently from other alloys in specific corrosive environments. Confirm the material specification against the project standards to ensure correct selection.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3" x 4-1/2" 304 stainless steel nipple without damaging the threads?

Apply PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant to the male threads only, then hand-tighten before using a wrench on the hex flats; over-tightening stretches the 304 stainless and causes leaks.

What maintenance will the 304 stainless steel nipple need over time?

Inspect the 304 stainless surfaces annually for crevice corrosion or mineral build-up; replace the nipple if pitting appears on the threads or sealing face.

What is the first limit that appears when the 304 stainless nipple runs under continuous pressure?

The 304 stainless material yields at lower stress than higher-grade alloys, so sustained pressure near its rating will cause permanent deformation before the threads strip.
