Value Collection 4BN1*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1*51/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-inch pipe, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and Grade 304/304L stainless steel. Pipe nipples are short threaded fittings used to connect two female-threaded ports, extend a pipe run, or transition between components in a piping system. Grade 304/304L dual certification provides good corrosion resistance in a wide range of plumbing, process, and mechanical applications. The welded construction meets standard dimensional requirements for Schedule 40 threaded pipe fittings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, industrial process lines, and mechanical piping assemblies where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service conditions typical of water supply, steam, and general fluid transfer applications. It is threaded on both ends for connection to standard NPT female fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L dual-certified stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet and process environments
• Welded construction conforming to Schedule 40 dimensional standards
• 1-inch pipe size with NPT-compatible threading on both ends
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure plumbing and mechanical service
• Stainless steel material suitable for potable water, steam, and general fluid service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for 1-inch NPT threaded plumbing and mechanical piping systems requiring Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B1.20.1 threading standards. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless fittings, as galling of the threads can occur.
