Set Of 2 Stainless Steel Nipple Cast Pipe Fittings - 1/2" NPT Male Thread X 1/2" NPT Male Thread, 2" Length Review

A nice looking pipe - but I would say this pipe nipple was at least a thread - probably two short. Pipe threads are tapered and the threads it had seemed to be about right for the outer threads. But after the threaded section there was quite a shoulder on the pipe nipple - and a coupling would screw on totally and then hit the shoulder and stop. If it didn't leak you were in business - if it did, there was no way to get an extra half turn because of the shoulder. We ended up chasing the threads

Threads are ips, but outside diameter is too large for escutcheon to fit on body of pipe. No leaks, worked. Will look nice in right application, but for a shower arm out of wall or ceiling, not the right application

This is just stainless tubing with the threads milled onto it instead of cut with a tap and die.The threads from end to end were different levels of engagement, and i had difficulty getting it to seal properly.you get what you pay for i suppose.

Nice appearing pipe nipple, but not functional. The threads cut on each end where not equal or sufficient. I was able to force a threaded seal on one end to a gasket connection. The other end needed to make a metal to metal seal. That failed on two different valves. The results were that the piece is junk.

I needed this to assemble a replacement, custom made, nozzle for a portable gasoline pump that is made from a 30 gallon barrel with a hand pump. I use this for delivery of gasoline to my boats that are housed in a covered boat lift on my boat dock. This nipple is what the Dr. ordered for assembling a 1/4 turn, 3/4" ball valve with attached open nozzle. No more leaking from the cheap gas nozzles you buy at the farm supply stores. Never have to worry about corrosion or rust with stainless steel.

If you're looking for a tight seal avoid this pipe, it's not NPT, the taper is far too short and ends in a shoulder that won't let it seat properly.

I ordered four.Three out of four as described. One out of the four looked used, and the inside looked rusty and/or contaminated with some sort of rust or slag. This one did not come in bubble wrap as the other three--consequently, it may have just been a return.I recommend you order extra in case this happens to you.Also, this is 304 SS instead of 316 SS. You may prefer the 316 for potable water applications, but then again, who knows what this is really made from?

Mechanically it's fine. It was more of a dull brushed nickel finish than anything resembling chrome. It arrived on time and got the job done though.

This is a nice piece of stainless pipe. It has a polished finish so it's shiny. Others have mentioned using this on a shower. This is a schedule 40 pipe, not a thin pipe like the neck for your showerhead. The threads are the same on both. Good price and looks to be good quality.

This product sucked and licked bad along with their valves, I will never buy from this company again I had to throw everything in the trash.

The last step in cutting a thread is to taper the thread start entry.If not cross threading is likely. Or just use your Dremel with a stone wheel.
