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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/2*11/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for water, steam, and a range of chemical service applications. The 1/2 inch pipe size and matching 1/2 inch thread size make it a standard fitting for common small-bore piping runs. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, HVAC hydronic loops, compressed air lines, and industrial process piping where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for typical service conditions in these applications. The welded construction is standard for stainless pipe nipples in this size range and performs reliably in both wet and dry service environments.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance
• Welded construction — standard for Schedule 40 stainless nipples in small bore sizes
• Schedule 40 wall thickness suitable for standard pressure service
• 1/2 inch pipe size with 1/2 inch NPT thread on both ends
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and specification compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/2 inch Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems using NPT-threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or facility-specific mechanical codes. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up threaded connections. De-pressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur — use proper anti-seize compatible with stainless alloys when required by the application.
