Value Collection 4BN1/2*5 Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 40 Ss 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/2*5 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/2 inch pipe, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness in Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, or equipment in fluid and gas piping systems. The 304 and 304L dual-grade material provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, steam, and mild chemical service. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for typical commercial and industrial piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, and the part is suited for both new construction and maintenance work where a short threaded extension is required.

This pipe nipple is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where a 1/2 inch threaded connection is needed. Common applications include water supply lines, steam distribution, process piping, and HVAC hydronic systems. The welded construction and stainless steel material make it a practical choice in corrosive or high-humidity environments where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 4 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using NPT-style connections in stainless steel piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid before making up the connection. Do not overtighten threaded stainless fittings, as galling of the threads can occur without proper sealant and controlled make-up.
