Value Collection 4BN1/4*6 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4*6 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/4-inch pipe, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness. Constructed from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple delivers solid corrosion resistance in plumbing, instrumentation, and process piping applications. The dual-grade 304/304L designation means the material meets both standard and low-carbon requirements, making it suitable for use in welded assemblies where sensitization is a concern. This type of fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working in residential, commercial, and light industrial systems where threaded stainless connections are specified.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, compressed air systems, chemical transfer piping, and other applications where stainless steel is required for corrosion resistance or sanitary considerations. Schedule 40 wall thickness aligns with standard threading dimensions for 1/4-inch NPT connections. Its compact size makes it a common component in close-quarters or panel-mounted piping assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Welded construction meeting Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 1/4-inch pipe size with standard NPT threading
• Low-carbon 304L grade suitable for welded assemblies without post-weld annealing
• Compact form factor for tight or panel-mounted piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded fitting replacement for 1/4-inch Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure. Avoid over-torquing threaded stainless fittings, as galling can occur between mating stainless components.
