Value Collection 4BN1/8*41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/8*41/2 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Manufactured to Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements and carries a 1/8 inch pipe thread size. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential leak points and improving pressure ratings in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system repairs, and process piping modifications.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a short-run threaded connection is needed between valves, fittings, or equipment ports. The 1/8 inch pipe size makes it a common choice for instrument connections, pressure tap lines, gauge connections, and low-flow service lines. Grade 304/304L dual certification makes it acceptable in both standard and low-carbon stainless applications where sensitization from welding heat is a concern.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for consistent wall thickness and no weld seam vulnerabilities
• Grade 304/304L stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size fits common instrument and gauge port connections
• Dual-certified 304/304L material accommodates low-carbon stainless requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems and fittings across residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing and HVAC piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight without over-torquing to avoid thread damage on stainless fittings. Inspect threads for galling after removal from stainless-to-stainless connections, as 304 grade is susceptible to thread galling.
