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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4*2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/4-inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements, making it suitable for moderate-pressure plumbing, instrumentation, and process piping applications. The dual-grade 304/304L designation provides compatibility with both standard and low-carbon welding requirements. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, and equipment in a wide range of fluid handling systems.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate systems, instrumentation lines, and industrial process piping where corrosion resistance is required. Schedule 40 construction makes it appropriate for standard service pressure applications. The 1/4-inch thread size is common in instrument connections, gauge ports, and small-diameter branch lines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur on threaded connections.
