Value Collection 4BN1/8*3 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/8*3 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for 1/8 inch pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel, it provides solid corrosion resistance in both general-purpose and mildly corrosive service environments. The Schedule 40 wall thickness delivers reliable pressure-handling capability for standard service conditions. This nipple is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on small-diameter threaded piping assemblies where stainless material is specified.

This pipe nipple suits residential and light commercial applications where a 1/8 inch threaded connection is required. Common install scenarios include instrumentation lines, pressure gauge connections, pilot gas lines, and other small-bore threaded assemblies. The dual-grade 304 and 304L designation makes it acceptable for welded assemblies as well as standard threaded installations. Grade 304L's lower carbon content reduces sensitization risk in environments where welding is part of the installation process.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for uniform wall thickness and consistent pressure performance
• Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel for broad corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings
• 1/8 inch pipe size with matching 1/8 inch thread size for direct installation into standard fittings
• Dual-grade material designation supports both threaded and welded service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded piping assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service environment. Shut off all system pressure and verify zero pressure at the work point before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium on all threaded connections. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
