Leaking joints, corroded fittings, and mismatched thread standards are the bane of any plumbing or fluid-system project. Whether you're a homeowner extending a water line, a contractor building an irrigation manifold, or a DIYer setting up a compressed-air system, you need 1/2" NPT threaded pipe fittings that thread on cleanly, seal reliably, and hold up over time without rusting out.
Each piece in this lineup is machined from 304 stainless steel with standard 1/2" NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads. Straight nipples are available in lengths from 30mm (≈1-3/16") to 500mm (≈19-11/16"), covering short close-nipple runs all the way to extended pipe spans. Fittings include 90° elbows in both F&F and M&M configurations, a three-way tee (F&F&F), a straight coupling/muff (F&F), and a pipe cap (F&F). Order in quantities of 1, 2, 5, or 10 pieces to match your project scale.
Typical applications include residential and commercial water supply lines, compressed-air distribution systems, outdoor irrigation and garden plumbing, and industrial fluid transfer setups where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are non-negotiable.

Measure the gap between your two threaded female ports, then subtract the thread engagement depth on each end — typically 8–11mm per end for 1/2" NPT. The remaining center-to-center distance is the nipple length you need. Available lengths run from 30mm (≈1-3/16") to 500mm (≈19-11/16"). When in doubt, size up — a slightly longer nipple is easier to work with than one that's too short.
304 stainless steel threaded fittings in 1/2" NPT generally handle working pressures up to 150 PSI (Class 150) for water and non-corrosive fluids at ambient temperatures. Actual ratings depend on the specific wall thickness and application fluid. Contact us to confirm suitability for high-pressure or high-temperature systems.
Yes. 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance in most outdoor environments. For coastal or salt-spray environments, 316 stainless steel is generally recommended for superior chloride resistance. In typical outdoor plumbing, irrigation, or garden applications, 304 SS performs well with proper installation and periodic inspection.
These fittings use 1/2" NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading, the standard used throughout North America. NPT threads are tapered and create a seal through thread interference, typically with PTFE tape. They are not directly compatible with BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads without an adapter.
Yes. For liquid or gas applications, applying 2–3 wraps of PTFE (Teflon) tape to the male threads before assembly is strongly recommended. This ensures a leak-free seal and makes future disassembly easier. Avoid pipe dope compounds not rated for stainless steel, as some can cause stress corrosion cracking over time.
304 stainless steel NPT fittings are generally compatible with natural gas and propane in residential applications, but gas line installations typically require fittings certified to local codes (e.g., ANSI/CSA). Always verify local code requirements and consult a licensed plumber or gas fitter before using any fitting in a gas application.
