Value Collection 4BN1/2*21/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Grade 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/2*21/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where corrosion resistance and reliable threaded connections are required. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple conforms to Schedule 40 wall thickness and features a 1/2-inch pipe size with matching 1/2-inch thread size on both ends. It is intended for installation by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on commercial or industrial piping assemblies. The 304/304L dual-grade designation supports both standard and low-carbon weld-zone corrosion requirements.

This nipple suits applications in water supply, process piping, and fluid transfer systems where stainless steel is specified for hygiene, corrosion resistance, or code compliance. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in residential and light commercial plumbing, as well as HVAC hydronic systems that call for stainless threaded fittings. Each nipple ships individually and is ordered in multiples of four per manufacturer minimum order quantity.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service medium. Avoid over-tightening, which can stress the welded body of the nipple.
