Legend Valve 316-132 1-1/4" x 8" 316 SS Nipple tubing

Stainless steel pipe nipple for plumbing systems

The Legend Valve 316-132 is a 316 stainless steel pipe nipple designed for plumbing installations. Its corrosion-resistant construction suits water, gas and chemical lines where standard steel would degrade. Professional plumbers and maintenance engineers specify this alloy for long service life in aggressive environments. The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Threaded connection limits for 1-1/4 inch nominal

The nipple provides a male-threaded link between two female fittings of matching nominal size. System pressure rating depends on the schedule of the adjoining pipe and the thread sealant used, not on the nipple alone. Thermal expansion of 316 stainless steel differs from copper or plastic pipe, so anchors or expansion loops may be required. Always verify local code requirements for the intended fluid and temperature range.

Replaces carbon steel

Install this nipple when the existing carbon steel or brass component shows pitting, scaling or galvanic attack. The upgrade is worth it where water chemistry, chemical exposure or dissimilar metals accelerate failure of lesser alloys. Do not use it where the system design calls for a different nominal diameter, thread standard or pressure class than the nipple provides.
