Alloy 400 · UNS N04400
A Monel 400 stub end is a short pipe length with a flared lap that works with a lap joint flange, made from Monel 400 to ASTM B366 WPNC. Stub ends are welded to the pipe and backed by a loose lap joint flange. Type A (long pattern, ASME B16.9) and short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends are the common choices.

Monel 400 Stub End: Why 400 for stub ends
Stub ends are welded to the pipe and backed by a loose lap joint flange. Type A (long pattern, ASME B16.9) and short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends are the common choices. In Monel 400, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fittings match nickel-alloy pipe in aggressive media. Monel 400 is picked for seawater, hydrofluoric acid and marine service. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Marine — Pump shafts, valves and seawater piping. |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCu-7 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Monel 400 Stub End — questions buyers ask
Long or short stub end?
Long-pattern stub ends to ASME B16.9 suit most piping; short-pattern MSS SP-43 stub ends save alloy and space in low-pressure lines.
Can Monel 400 stub ends be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Monel 400 stub ends?
The material is ASTM B366 WPNC; dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · MSS SP-43. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Monel 400 stub end?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Monel 400 stub ends to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Monel 400 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
