Value Collection 4BN11/2X12 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN11/2X12 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threading, sized at 1.5 inches nominal diameter and 12 inches in length. This close-tolerance nipple connects sections of pipe or pipe-to-fitting assemblies in pressurized fluid and gas systems. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposure, and high-temperature environments. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping systems where standard carbon steel nipples would degrade too quickly.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, steam systems, and process piping applications where corrosion resistance and Schedule 40 wall thickness are required. The 12-inch length makes it a practical option for spanning short distances between fittings, valves, or equipment connections without requiring a field-cut section of pipe. The NPT thread form is compatible with the vast majority of standard pipe fittings used in North American trade work.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with North American pipe fittings
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemically aggressive environments
• 1.5 inches nominal diameter x 12 inches length for precise fit in designed piping layouts
• Weighs 1.26 pounds, suitable for overhead and wall-mounted installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for Schedule 40 NPT piping systems using 1.5-inch nominal diameter fittings and pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the system fluid and pressure before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall.
