Product Identity
This is a Legend Valve 304-209 pipe nipple made from 304 stainless steel. It serves as a straight connector in plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and clean media compatibility are required. The fitting suits installers and maintenance teams working on water, air or light chemical lines.
Fit and Exclusions
The nipple fits projects specified for 304 stainless steel with threaded connections. It is not for systems that mandate a different alloy grade, nor for piping methods that rely on press, groove or compression joints instead of threaded ends. Buyers needing other lengths, diameters or schedules should select a different fitting.
Deciding Specification
The defining detail is the 304 stainless steel material called out in the part number 304-209. This grade determines whether the nipple meets the project's corrosion and purity requirements. Confirm the alloy specification before ordering.

Questions about this item
What thread standard does the 3" 304 stainless steel nipple use and what pipe size does it connect?
The nipple uses standard NPT threads on both ends and connects 3-inch nominal pipe size.
What clearance and alignment does the 5-1/2" length require for installation?
The 5-1/2" overall length needs straight pipe runs with enough space to thread both ends without bending the nipple.
How is the 304 stainless nipple installed and which step is often done incorrectly?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the male threads, hand-tighten, then wrench-tighten one to two turns; the common error is over-tightening and cracking the fitting.
