About Stainless Steel Pipe Nipples
Stainless Steel Pipe Nipples are durable, resists corrosion from caustic chemicals, corrosive fluids, oils, and gases, and withstands pressure and high temperatures. Made from high grade stainless steel, a chromium-nickel material; it resists corrosion caused by water, heat, saltwater, acids, minerals, and peaty soils. Stainless Steel Pipe Nipples connects with fittings to transport air, water, natural gas, steam, and chemicals to storage tanks and in residential plumbing, and kitchen and food applications.

Precision Engineered for ReliabilityManufactured to ANSI standards, these stainless steel pipe nipples offer high tensile and yield strength, ensuring reliable performance under pressure (up to 150 PSI) and across a wide temperature range. The combination of excellent corrosion resistance and consistent hardness (160 HB) makes them suitable for rigorous environments.
Versatile Applications and End TypesChoose from beveled, plain, or threaded end types to suit plumbing, industrial, or process piping tasks. Their versatility extends to compatibility with water, oil, steam, and gas systems, making them indispensable in a variety of settings.
Quality and Safety AssuredEvery pipe nipple is made using top-grade SS304 or SS316 steel and undergoes a polished surface treatment for both functionality and appearance. With careful packaging in robust carton or wooden cases, products arrive ready for direct use, fully compliant with international standards.
FAQ's of Stainless Steel Pipe Nipples:
Q: How are the stainless steel pipe nipples commonly installed and what tools are required?
A: Stainless steel pipe nipples with threaded ends can be easily installed using standard plumbing wrenches. For a secure, leak-free joint, apply suitable thread sealant on the male threads before screwing the nipple into the pipe fitting. Ensure the threads match (NPT or BSP) as per your system requirements.
Q: What are the main benefits of choosing these stainless steel pipe nipples for industrial or plumbing applications?
A: These pipe nipples provide exceptional corrosion resistance, high durability, and a polished or matte finish for enhanced aesthetics and protection. Their rigid structure, precise tolerances, and compatibility with a range of fluids (water, oil, steam, gas) make them reliable for both intensive industrial settings and routine plumbing installations.
Q: When should I select SS304 or SS316 material grade for my application?
A: Opt for SS304 pipe nipples in standard environments exposed to water or mild chemicals. Choose SS316 for applications where higher corrosion resistance is required, such as in marine, chemical processing, or highly acidic conditions. SS316 contains molybdenum, enhancing its resilience against aggressive agents.
Q: Where can these pipe nipples be sourced in India and do you offer export or supply services?
A: We operate as a distributor, exporter, importer, manufacturer, supplier, service provider, and trader across India. Orders can be shipped nationwide and to international destinations, packaged securely in carton boxes or wooden cases for optimal transit safety.
Q: What is the process for ensuring each pipe nipple meets the stated standards and tolerances?
A: Each product is manufactured to precise ANSI standards, with stringent quality checks at every stage. Measurements, material composition, surface treatments, and hardness are carefully monitored to guarantee a 0.02 mm tolerance and proper mechanical properties before packaging.
Q: How can these pipe nipples be reused, and what precautions should be taken?
A: Stainless steel pipe nipples can be reused provided the threads remain undamaged and clean. Prior to reinstallation, inspect the surfaces and threads for wear, and apply fresh thread sealant. Avoid over-tightening to preserve the thread integrity and maintain a secure seal.
Q: What are the recommended applications and connection types for these pipe nipples?
A: These nipples feature male threaded NPT or BSP connections and are ideal for plumbing, industrial lines, and process systems conveying water, oil, steam, or gas. They are suitable for rigid installations where robust sealing and reliable performance are essential, rated for pressures up to 150 PSI and temperatures from -20C to +220C.
