Product Details
The Merit 304 Stainless Steel Schedule 40 Type A stub end MSS 2-1/2 butt-weld female fitting is designed for pipe connections using the butt welding method, which is preferred for its strength and durability. Butt weld fittings must have the same wall thickness and diameter as the connecting pipe; both pipe and fitting ends are beveled to create a groove for the weld filler. This fitting is constructed from 304 stainless steel, adhering to Schedule 40 specifications and MSS standards, with a 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size. Butt weld fittings like this offer advantages such as lower cost, reduced maintenance, and stronger joints compared to threaded connections. The package includes the stub end fitting ready for welding, complying with industry welding standards, and it comes with a warranty covering manufacturing defects as specified by the manufacturer.
