Value Collection 4BN1*11/2 Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1*11/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance in a wide range of service environments. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple is suited for moderate-pressure systems where dimensional consistency and material integrity are required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this type of fitting as part of close or short nipple connections between threaded components in both new construction and retrofit work.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where 1-inch threaded connections are required. Common applications include water supply lines, condensate drain connections, equipment tie-ins, and general-purpose fluid transport systems. The Grade 304/304L dual certification makes it suitable where low-carbon stainless is specified to reduce sensitization risk in welded assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• Welded construction per Schedule 40 wall thickness standards
• 1-inch pipe size with threaded ends for standard NPT connections
• Low-carbon 304L variant reduces carbide precipitation risk in welded joints
• Compact fitting suitable for tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and temperature range. Do not over-torque threaded connections on stainless fittings, as galling can occur without proper anti-seize compound.
