Legend Valve 316-200 3" x Close 316 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple laboratory supply

Product Identity

The Legend Valve 316-200 is a 3" x Close 316 stainless steel pipe nipple supplied as a laboratory component. It is intended for technicians and engineers assembling fluid-handling systems that require corrosion-resistant alloy construction. The new item carries California Proposition 65 notices for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Buyers needing different alloys or longer lengths must source alternative fittings.

Build Integration

This nipple connects two female-threaded ports in a pipeline, requiring compatible 3" NPT connections on both sides. The 316 stainless steel material withstands aggressive media that would attack carbon steel or brass, freeing the designer from additional corrosion allowances or protective coatings. Installers must verify thread engagement and pressure ratings for the specific service conditions. Systems requiring welded joints or flanged connections cannot use this threaded nipple.

Accessory Impact

No accessories, software, gaskets or sealants are included with the nipple. The installer must supply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the process fluid and temperature. The Proposition 65 warnings apply to the fitting itself and do not change with the addition of sealants. Projects needing pre-applied coatings, insulated assemblies or certified material test reports must arrange those separately.
