Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 cap 1-1/2 inch butt-weld female fitting is designed for pipe connections using butt welding, which requires the fitting to have the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipe it connects to. Both the pipe and fitting ends are beveled to butt together, creating a groove for the weld filler, resulting in a strong, durable joint. This stainless steel fitting is made from 316 grade material, suitable for high corrosion resistance applications. The Schedule 40 rating indicates the pipe thickness compatibility. The package includes the butt-weld female cap ready for installation. This fitting is compliant with industry standards for weld fittings and provides advantages such as lower cost, less maintenance, and superior strength compared to threaded joints. The product dimensions conform to standard 1-1/2 inch pipe sizes, and it carries a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
