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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4*5 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/4 inch pipe and manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Constructed from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in both standard and low-carbon applications. This nipple is a short threaded fitting used to connect or extend pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these fittings during new construction and retrofit work where corrosion resistance and material compatibility with stainless systems are required.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and process piping applications where a 1/4 inch stainless steel connection is needed. The welded construction and Schedule 40 wall rating make it appropriate for moderate-pressure service lines. It is typically installed in areas requiring resistance to moisture, mild chemicals, or oxidizing environments. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance
• Welded construction meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 1/4 inch pipe size with 1/4 inch thread size for standard NPT connections
• Low-carbon 304L variant suitable where post-weld sensitization is a concern
• Compact fitting for tight spaces in plumbing and mechanical piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1/4 inch Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe systems using standard NPT threading.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or replacing any pipe nipple. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel fittings. Avoid over-tightening, which can stress the threads on smaller diameter fittings.
