When you need to extend a pipe run, connect a valve to a vessel wall, or bridge a gap in a tight plumbing layout, a poorly fitted nipple can mean leaks, rework, and downtime. These stainless steel 201 BSP male thread weld nipples are built for plumbers, pipefitters, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts who need a dependable, weldable pipe extension in a range of lengths.
Each piece is a single weld nipple machined from stainless steel 201 with a BSP male thread on one end and a plain weld end on the other. Available in three thread diameters — 1/2" (M1&2"), 3/4" (M3&4"), and 1" (M1") — and six lengths: 100mm (≈3.9"), 150mm (≈5.9"), 200mm (≈7.9"), 300mm (≈11.8"), 400mm (≈15.7"), and 500mm (≈19.7").
These weld nipples are well-suited for residential and commercial plumbing pipe extensions, industrial tank outlet connections, and custom fabrication projects where a threaded-to-welded transition is needed. The BSP male thread end connects directly to standard female BSP valves, elbows, and couplings, making integration into existing systems straightforward.

Measure the gap between the two pipe ends or fittings you need to bridge. Add allowance for thread engagement on each end — generally 10–15mm per side. Available lengths are 100mm (≈3.9"), 150mm (≈5.9"), 200mm (≈7.9"), 300mm (≈11.8"), 400mm (≈15.7"), and 500mm (≈19.7"). When in doubt, size up — a longer nipple can be trimmed during fabrication.
These fittings use BSP (British Standard Pipe) male threads, which are compatible with standard BSP female threaded fittings and valves commonly used in plumbing and industrial piping systems across the US, UK, Australia, and many other markets.
Yes. Stainless steel 201 offers good corrosion resistance for general outdoor and wet-environment use. For highly corrosive environments — such as coastal saltwater exposure or chemical processing — 304 or 316 stainless steel is generally recommended. Contact us if you need an upgraded grade.
Pressure ratings depend on pipe diameter, wall thickness, and installation method. Stainless steel 201 weld nipples are typically suitable for moderate-pressure plumbing and industrial applications. Contact us to confirm ratings for your specific use case before installation in high-pressure systems.
Variants are listed as Thread Size × Length. For example, "M1&2" × 100mm" means a 1/2" BSP male thread nipple that is 100mm (≈3.9") long. Available thread sizes are 1/2", 3/4", and 1"; available lengths are 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, and 500mm.
The plain end is welded directly into a pipe or vessel wall using standard TIG or MIG welding suitable for stainless steel. The male-threaded end then accepts a BSP female fitting such as a valve, elbow, or coupling. Apply PTFE tape or pipe thread sealant to the threaded connection to ensure a leak-free joint.
Stainless steel 201 is generally used in industrial and structural applications. For potable water or food-grade systems, 304 or 316 stainless steel is typically the recommended choice. Please confirm your application requirements before ordering, or contact us for alternative material options.
