Buying Guide

Match material to application

Choose stainless steel for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments; confirm grade (e.g., 304) when chemical or sanitary requirements apply

Confirm thread type and size

Verify NPT male/female or MNPT/ FNPT compatibility with existing fittings to ensure proper sealing and thread engagement

Check schedule and pressure class

Schedule 40 and Class 150 listings indicate common wall thickness and pressure limits—match those to system pressure and safety factors

Pick the right length and diameter

Select pipe nipples in the precise length and nominal diameter you need to avoid adapters or excess threading that can compromise fittings

Consider sealing method

Decide between thread sealant, PTFE tape, or gasketed connections based on fluid type and maintenance practices to prevent leaks
