Value Collection 4BN1/4X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/4X10 is a stainless steel close-pattern pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 service with NPT threading on both ends. Pipe nipples are short-run threaded fittings used to connect two female-threaded components or extend a pipe run within a piping system. This nipple measures 0.55 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, weighing approximately 0.16 pounds. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and stands up to demanding environments where carbon steel would fail. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly install these fittings in process piping, steam lines, and general utility systems.

This pipe nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, steam distribution, and industrial process lines where corrosion resistance is required. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard threaded fittings, valves, and connectors widely used across the trades. Its Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure fluid and gas service in a broad range of piping applications.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or steam environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for moderate-pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• 10 inch length suits extension runs and offset connections
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-install fitting compatible with any Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping system using 1/4 inch nominal pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
