Value Collection 4BN11/2*5 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN11/2*5 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size with 1-1/2 inch threads, it is manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel and built to Schedule 40 wall thickness. The 304/304L dual-grade designation means this nipple is suitable for both standard and low-carbon welded applications where corrosion resistance and moderate strength are required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in corrosive or sanitary environments.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, food service lines, and light industrial process piping where stainless steel construction is specified. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it compatible with standard-pressure threaded systems. The welded construction is appropriate for non-critical pressure applications where seamless is not required by spec. It is typically installed as a close nipple or used to transition between fittings in a threaded assembly.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and sanitary environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure requirements for threaded pipe systems
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with matching 1-1/2 inch thread size for direct fitment
• Welded construction suitable for non-critical and general-purpose piping assemblies
• Dual-grade 304/304L designation supports both standard and low-carbon application requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe nipple replacement for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe systems using NPT or compatible threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service fluid. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
