Brass Fittings 70140 316 Stainless Steel Close Nipple 1-1/2 Inch NPT

The Brass Fittings 70140 is a close nipple manufactured from premium 316 stainless steel, designed for use in corrosive environments and marine applications. This 1-1/2 inch NPT threaded fitting features a close configuration, meaning it has minimal unthreaded shoulder between the two threaded ends, allowing for compact connections in tight spaces.

Key Features:

• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel
• 1-1/2 inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) tapered threads on both ends
• Close nipple design maximizes thread engagement while minimizing overall length
• Ideal for marine, chemical processing, and high-moisture environments
• Suitable for water, oil, gas, and other fluid transfer applications
• Temperature and pressure rated for demanding industrial applications

This close nipple is perfect for connecting two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment where space is limited. The 316 stainless steel alloy contains molybdenum, which enhances resistance to chlorides and acidic conditions, making it the preferred choice for saltwater and chemical environments.
