1/4" MNPT x 1-1/2" 304L Stainless Steel Close Pipe Nipple (4004-150, SCH 40)
The P-WAT-2545 (Merit Brass 4004-150) is a precision-engineered 1/4" NPT threaded nipple used to connect pipes and fittings in high-pressure or chemically intensive systems. Constructed from 304L Stainless Steel, it offers superior resistance to oxidation and corrosion compared to standard carbon steel or brass, making it ideal for systems handling reclaimed water or aggressive car wash detergents.
This nipple features Male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends and is manufactured using a welded process to ensure structural integrity. At 1-1/2 inches in length, it provides the necessary spacing for mounting valves, gauges, or sensors within complex manifolds.
Tommy Car Wash System Application
Within Tommy Car Wash Systems, this component is essential for backroom operations. It is primarily utilized in:
- Tommy Water Treatment Center: Used for routing water through filtration and reclaim manifolds.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) System: Provides critical, corrosion-free connections for high-purity water lines, ensuring that TDS levels remain unaffected by the plumbing components themselves.
