Value Collection 4BN1/8*21/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/8*21/2 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/8 inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. The seamless construction eliminates a weld seam, reducing potential leak points and improving pressure integrity. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for small-diameter threaded connections. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians wherever a short, threaded male-to-male pipe section is required in a stainless steel piping assembly.

This nipple is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating lines, compressed air lines, and instrumentation or process piping where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 1/8 inch pipe size makes it a common fitting for gauge connections, pilot lines, and small-diameter branch connections. Grade 304L low-carbon chemistry also makes it suitable for applications that may involve welded assemblies or exposure to mildly corrosive media.

Key Features

• Seamless construction eliminates weld seam for improved pressure integrity
• Grade 304/304L stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet and process environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard small-diameter pressure service
• 1/8 inch pipe size suits gauge ports, pilot lines, and instrumentation connections
• Threaded male ends on both sides for direct inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using Schedule 40 fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless steel connections, as galling can occur on stainless threads.
