Legend Valve 316-216 3 inch x 12 inch 316 stainless steel nipple

Pipe Nipple Dimensions

This Legend Valve nipple is a straight 316 stainless steel fitting measuring three inches in nominal diameter and twelve inches in length. It serves plumbers and maintenance engineers who need a corrosion-resistant connector for fluid or gas lines in industrial and commercial systems. The 316 alloy provides improved resistance to chlorides and acids compared with standard grades. It is supplied new and ready for threading into compatible pipework.

Proposition 65 Compliance

The product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Installers must follow local safety regulations and use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, threading or handling the fitting. The warnings apply to the material composition and do not indicate a defect in the nipple itself. No other standards or certifications are referenced in the supplied data.

Installation Verification

Before ordering, confirm that the existing pipework uses a matching three-inch nominal size and that the thread standard is compatible with the nipple's threading. Verify that the twelve-inch overall length fits the available space between fittings or equipment flanges. Ensure the system pressure and temperature ratings are suitable for 316 stainless steel in the intended service. Check that gaskets, sealants and mating components are chemically compatible with the alloy.
