Boshart SS304N 304 Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Nipple

The Boshart SS304N is a 304 stainless steel threaded pipe nipple made from welded stainless steel pipe, built for rough-in plumbing connections that demand corrosion resistance beyond standard black or galvanized steel. This nipple family is available in sizes ranging from 1/4" up to 2" diameter, with lengths spanning from 1-1/2" to 12" depending on the size selected, giving contractors and distributors a full range of stock options for threaded stainless steel piping runs. Every option in this family shares the same 304 stainless steel welded pipe construction and male threaded ends designed to mate with stainless steel threaded fittings. Boshart recommends pairing these nipples with Gray Stainless Steel PTFE Tape and Gray Magic Pipe Thread Compound when joining to stainless steel threaded fittings, helping ensure a proper seal at the male threaded connection points across the entire size range.

  • Threaded Connection: Male threaded ends designed to mate with stainless steel threaded fittings on both sides of the nipple, regardless of size selected.

Boshart SS304N-0315 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What sizes and lengths do the Boshart SS304N stainless nipples come in?
The SS304N nipple family runs from 1/4 inch through 2 inch pipe size, with lengths from 1-1/2 inches up to 12 inches. Not every length exists in every diameter: 1/2 inch is the deepest range (1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2, 5, 6, 10 and 12 inch), 3/4 inch covers 1-1/2 through 6 inch, 1/4 inch comes in 3, 4 and 6 inch, 3/8 inch in 1-1/2 and 5 inch, 1 inch in 2 and 4 inch, 1-1/4 inch in 2, 4 and 6 inch, 1-1/2 inch in 4 inch only, and 2 inch in 2 and 4 inch. If you need a long run in a larger diameter, the 10 and 12 inch options are 1/2 inch only.
2) Are both ends of this stainless pipe nipple male threaded?
Yes, male threads on both ends. The SS304N is a threaded-connection fitting meant to join two female stainless steel threaded fittings, so it does not accept a slip or press connection on either side.
3) Why use a 304 stainless nipple instead of a galvanized or black steel one?
Corrosion resistance is the whole point. These are made from 304 stainless welded pipe for service where black or galvanized steel will rust out, and they are used in stainless threaded piping systems, corrosion-resistant fitting connections, and like-for-like replacement of failed stainless nipples. If the rest of the run is carbon steel and the environment is dry, a galvanized nipple does the same mechanical job for less; if the line is stainless, match the material at the nipple.
4) What thread sealant should I use on stainless threaded nipples?
Boshart's own recommendation for the SS304N is to use Gray Stainless Steel PTFE Tape together with Gray Magic Pipe Thread Compound when joining to stainless threaded fittings. Stainless-on-stainless threads gall easily, which is why both a tape and a compound are called for rather than one or the other.
5) Are these nipples sold individually or by the case?
Case packaging. The SS304N nipples are supplied per case, with the case quantity varying by size, which suits contractor and distributor stocking rather than one-off single-piece pickups.
6) What is the Boshart part number for a 3/4 inch by 4 inch stainless nipple?
That one is SS304N-0740. The numbering follows pipe size then length, so 1/2 x 3 inch is SS304N-0530, 1 x 4 inch is SS304N-1040, 1-1/4 x 6 inch is SS304N-1260, and 2 x 4 inch is SS304N-2040. Handy when you are ordering a spread of sizes for a rough-in and want to spec them line by line.
7) Can I use these for a close nipple or a shoulder-less connection?
No. The shortest SS304N offered is 1-1/2 inches long (in 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 inch pipe sizes), which is a short cut-length nipple with a shoulder, not a close or all-thread nipple. For a true close nipple you need a different part.
8) Do the Boshart SS304N nipples carry a Prop 65 warning?
No Prop 65 warning applies to the SS304N stainless nipples. Country of origin is China.
