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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/2*4 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/2 inch pipe, manufactured to Grade 304/304L and rated Schedule 40. It serves as a short threaded connector used to join sections of pipe, attach fittings, or extend piping runs in fluid and gas distribution systems. Grade 304/304L dual certification supports use in both standard and low-carbon welding applications. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate pressure-handling capacity for typical plumbing and light industrial service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, compressed air systems, and industrial fluid transfer applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 1/2 inch pipe size is one of the most common sizes in domestic water supply and process piping. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where carbon steel would be subject to corrosion from water, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Welded construction per Schedule 40 wall thickness specification
• 1/2 inch pipe size with 1/2 inch thread size for standard NPT connections
• Dual-grade 304/304L material supports applications requiring low-carbon stainless
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and cataloging compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using Schedule 40 fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections on stainless steel fittings to avoid galling the threads.
