Value Collection 4BN1*6 Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 Ss 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1*6 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple rated for 1-inch pipe size at Schedule 40 wall thickness. Machined from Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas piping applications. The dual-grade 304/304L designation allows use in both standard and weld-sensitive installations where low carbon content helps minimize carbide precipitation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial systems where stainless material is specified for sanitary, chemical, or corrosion-resistance requirements.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems that require stainless steel construction. It fits into Schedule 40 pipe configurations and connects via threaded ends machined to 1-inch thread size. Typical applications include water service lines, food-grade piping, marine plumbing, and chemical distribution where carbon steel or brass fittings are not acceptable. The welded construction meets standard fabrication practices for Schedule 40 stainless nipples used in pressure-rated systems.

Key Features

• Grade 304 and 304L dual-grade stainless steel construction for broad corrosion resistance
• Welded fabrication to Schedule 40 wall thickness for pressure-rated service
• 1-inch pipe size with 1-inch thread size for direct in-line installation
• Low carbon 304L grade minimizes carbide precipitation in weld-adjacent zones
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and materials management compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe systems using 1-inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all tapered threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections on stainless fittings, as galling can occur between mating stainless components.
