Value Collection 4BN1/4*11/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4*11/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel and rated for Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple delivers reliable corrosion resistance in both wet and chemically active environments. The 1/4-inch pipe size and matching 1/4-inch thread make it a direct-connect fitting for low- to medium-pressure lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as a short threaded extension or close connector between valves, equipment ports, and pipe runs.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air headers, chemical transfer lines, and HVAC refrigerant or condensate piping where stainless construction is specified. The 304/304L dual-grade certification makes it compatible with both standard welded and low-carbon weld requirements, offering flexibility across a range of install scenarios.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure threaded piping systems
• Welded construction consistent with standard pipe nipple manufacturing practice
• 1/4-inch pipe size with matching 1/4-inch NPT thread
• Compact form factor suitable for close-quarter piping connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for 1/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipples.

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 line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque stainless fittings, as galling of the threads can occur.
