Value Collection 4BN1/2*41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/2*41/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel and rated to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple provides a reliable, all-metal threaded connection between pipe sections or fittings. The 1/2 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple in process, utility, and fluid-handling applications where stainless steel is specified for hygiene or corrosion requirements.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, food-service piping, chemical handling, and other installations where Grade 304 or 304L stainless steel is called for. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in both liquid and gas piping systems. It connects using standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate-pressure service
• 1/2 inch NPT thread size for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• Welded construction for consistent dimensional integrity along the body
• Compact nipple form factor for close or short-extension threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service fluid and pressure rating. De-pressurize and drain the line section before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur without proper lubrication.
