Product identity

The Legend Valve 304-180 is a 2-1/2 inch close nipple made from 304 stainless steel. It serves as a short connector for joining two female-threaded pipe ends in plumbing systems. The fitting is supplied new and carries the standard California Proposition 65 notices regarding chemical content.

Suitable uses and limits

This nipple suits installers who need a 304 stainless steel close nipple in the 2-1/2 inch size for water, air or compatible fluid lines. It is not suited for applications that demand a different pipe diameter, a longer nipple length, or a material grade other than 304 stainless steel. Buyers requiring those variations should look at other fittings.

Deciding specification

The critical specification is the 304 stainless steel construction combined with the 2-1/2 inch close dimension. Confirm that both the material grade and the exact nominal size match the system requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the 304 stainless steel nipple need replacement due to corrosion in typical plumbing systems?

The 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in most water conditions, so replacement for rust is unlikely under normal use.

What is the first limit reached when this close nipple is under sustained pressure and flow?

The pressure rating of the connected piping system typically becomes the limiting factor before the nipple itself yields.

Does the nipple generate noise, heat or draw power when water runs through it all day?

As a passive fitting it creates no heat, draws no power and adds only normal flow noise from the plumbing system.
