Value Collection 4BN1/4*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4*51/2 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, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for plumbing, process piping, and light industrial applications. The dual-grade 304/304L designation means the material meets both standard and low-carbon requirements, making it compatible with welded assemblies where sensitization is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when connecting threaded pipe runs in systems that demand stainless construction over carbon steel or brass alternatives.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC condensate lines, compressed air distribution, and process piping installations where corrosion resistance and Schedule 40 pressure ratings are required. The 1/4 inch pipe size fits typical instrument lines, bypass circuits, and small-diameter branch connections. It is threaded on both ends to accept standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings commonly found in trade installations.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Welded construction meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 1/4 inch pipe size with standard NPT threading on both ends
• Low-carbon 304L designation supports use in welded assemblies without sensitization risk
• Compact fitting suitable for instrument lines, bypass circuits, and small-diameter branch connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-install fitting for 1/4 inch Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for stainless steel fittings and the service fluid. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
