Value Collection 4BN1/8*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1/8*51/2 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/8 inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel and produced to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple is built for corrosion-resistant performance in demanding plumbing and instrumentation applications. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, which improves pressure integrity and reduces potential leak paths. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting when joining threaded pipe runs in tight or corrosive service environments. The Grade 304/304L dual certification covers both standard and low-carbon variants, making it suitable for applications where post-weld corrosion resistance is a concern.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air lines, instrumentation tubing, and process piping where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The 1/8 inch pipe size suits small-diameter connections common in instrumentation taps, gauge ports, and similar fittings. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for these applications. Installation typically requires NPT threaded connections on both ends and is compatible with standard 1/8 inch NPT fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for improved pressure integrity and reduced leak risk
• Grade 304/304L stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• 1/8 inch pipe size suits instrumentation ports, gauge taps, and small-diameter threaded connections
• Low-carbon 304L designation supports use in weld-adjacent applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement nipple compatible with standard 1/8 inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe couplings used in plumbing and instrumentation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before makeup. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to thread galling.
