Value Collection 4BN1/4*41/2 Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 40 304SS

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4*41/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/4 inch pipe. Constructed from Grade 304/304L stainless steel and rated to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for plumbing, fluid handling, and light industrial piping systems. The 304/304L dual-grade designation makes it compatible with both standard and low-carbon stainless weld requirements. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this type of fitting wherever a short threaded extension or close connection is needed between threaded pipe components.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, process piping, and HVAC condensate or fluid lines where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for 1/4 inch threaded piping. It is appropriate for use in potable water, chemical transfer, and steam or condensate applications that call for 304 or 304L stainless construction.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Welded construction with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• 1/4 inch pipe size with matching 1/4 inch thread size for direct threaded connections
• Dual-grade 304/304L designation supports both standard and low-carbon stainless specifications
• Compact, lightweight fitting for tight-space installations in plumbing and fluid piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service fluid. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, which can stress the fitting or damage mating threads.
