Value Collection 4BN11/4*3 Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40 304

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN11/4*3 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple rated for 1-1/4 inch pipe in Schedule 40 wall thickness. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple delivers reliable corrosion resistance in plumbing, process, and mechanical piping systems. The dual-grade 304/304L designation means the material meets both standard and low-carbon stainless requirements, making it suitable for welded assemblies where post-weld sensitization is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a short threaded extension between pipe runs, valves, or fittings in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems found in commercial plumbing, food service, chemical handling, and light industrial environments. The 1-1/4 inch pipe size fits standard NPT connections at that nominal diameter. Stainless construction makes it appropriate for systems requiring corrosion resistance or sanitary-grade materials. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order of 2 units.

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 the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service fluid. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall under excessive torque.
