A 12 inch 316 stainless steel pipe nipple with threaded ends

Legend Valve

Legend Valve 316-236 4 inch by 12 inch 316 stainless steel nipple

SKU CH-8A8C-JGYS0

A 12-inch 316 stainless steel pipe nipple for corrosion-resistant plumbing connections

  • 316 stainless steel resists corrosion in harsh water conditions
  • 12 inch length spans wide gaps without extra couplings
  • 4 inch diameter handles high-volume flow for industrial systems
  • New condition ensures clean threads and full pressure rating
  • Complies with California Proposition 65 chemical disclosure requirements

Material and Dimensions

The Legend Valve 316-236 is a 4 inch by 12 inch pipe nipple manufactured from 316 stainless steel. It serves plumbing systems requiring corrosion-resistant connections between female-threaded components.

Sustained Environment Performance

The 316 stainless steel construction resists chemical attack and oxidation during continuous exposure to aggressive fluids or atmospheric conditions. It maintains structural integrity where lesser alloys would degrade under sustained thermal or chemical load.

Upgrade Context

This nipple replaces carbon steel or lower-grade stainless fittings when service life is shortened by pitting or crevice corrosion. The jump is justified when system downtime for replacement exceeds the material cost difference.

Questions about this item

Does the 316 stainless nipple generate any noise, heat or power draw when installed in a continuously running system?

The 316 stainless nipple is a passive fitting with no moving parts, so it produces no noise, no heat and draws no power during continuous operation.

What mating components must already be on site for the 4 inch by 12 inch nipple to connect properly?

The nipple has male NPT threads on both ends, so you need matching 4 inch female NPT fittings or valves on each side, plus suitable pipe sealant or tape for a leak-free joint.

Will the 316 stainless nipple work reliably alongside older carbon-steel or galvanised pipe already in the system?

Direct contact between 316 stainless and carbon steel can create a galvanic cell; use a dielectric union or brass transition fitting to prevent accelerated corrosion of the older pipe.
