Legend Valve 316-228 4" x 5" 316 Stainless Steel Nipple plumbing

4" x 5" 316 Stainless Steel Nipple

This Legend Valve 316-228 nipple provides a 4-inch by 5-inch connection point for plumbing assemblies. It is built from 316 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in water supply or fluid transfer lines. The component suits installers needing a straight, threaded pipe section of this specific length and material grade. It is not for systems requiring a different diameter, length, or material specification.

Sustained corrosion resistance

The 316 stainless steel construction resists pitting and degradation during continuous exposure to water and common chemical treatments. This alloy maintains structural integrity under constant pressure and flow conditions typical in plumbing networks. The material choice supports long service intervals without the scaling or rust associated with lower-grade metals. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Threaded installation

Standard pipe threads allow the nipple to screw directly into compatible fittings using common wrenches and thread sealant. Correct alignment prevents cross-threading, which is the most frequent cause of leaks at the joint. Over-tightening can distort the threads or crack the mating fitting, requiring replacement. No special tools or adhesives beyond standard pipe tape or compound are needed for a secure seal.
