Material and Connection Selection

Nipolet Selection Note: Nipolet is identified as a branch connection fitting used in piping systems. The correct selection depends on the required branch connection design, run pipe and outlet sizes, end connection, material compatibility and project design requirements.

Stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex and nickel alloy materials may be considered according to the intended service. Material selection should account for corrosion resistance, operating conditions and the applicable engineering specification.

Confirm the following before finalising the specification:

  • Required branch connection design and end connection
  • Run pipe size and outlet dimensions
  • Pressure class and applicable pipe schedule
  • Material grade and governing material standard
  • Required testing, inspection and certification documents
  • Project-specific sour-service or corrosion-resistance requirements

Product suitability, applicable standards and documentation should be confirmed with the supplier against the project's engineering requirements.
