Value Collection 4BN1/2X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/2X10 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded to NPT standards. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe with male threads on both ends, used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a piping run. This nipple measures 1/2 inch in nominal pipe size and 10 inches in length. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or high-humidity service environments. It weighs approximately 0.33 pounds. Installation is straightforward and suits a range of piping systems where NPT threading is the standard connection method.

This nipple is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, industrial, and process piping applications where a 1/2-inch NPT threaded connection is required. The 10-inch length makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections where a longer reach is needed between fittings. Stainless steel construction makes this nipple a practical choice for corrosive environments, including steam lines, chemical service, and outdoor installations. It is sold individually and is a direct drop-in for any standard 1/2-inch NPT female-threaded fitting or valve.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard female-threaded fittings
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 1/2-inch nominal pipe size with 10-inch overall length
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum quantity required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for any piping system using 1/2-inch NPT female-threaded connections and Schedule 40 pipe specifications.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter should install pipe nipples in pressurized systems per applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless fittings are susceptible to galling.
