The Merit Brass Type C MSS stub end is a schedule 10 stainless steel 304/304L butt-weld pipe fitting designed for use with lap joint or slip on flanges to connect pipes to flat surfaces or to other flanged end connections. The Type C fitting has a short outside fillet radius and a butt-weld, beveled opening for welding pipes together. Made of stainless steel 304L, the lower carbon content of this stub end minimizes harmful carbide precipitation due to welding, ensuring corrosion resistance. It meets both steel 304 strength standards and 304L extra-low carbon standards for quality assurance. Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Merit Brass manufactures pipe nipples following ISO 9001 standards for quality assurance. The company, family-owned since 1937 and headquartered in Cleveland, OH, distributes pipe fittings in the United States and Canada.
