Value Collection 4BN11/4X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN11/4X10 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded to NPT standards. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe with male threads on both ends, used to connect two female-threaded fittings or to extend a threaded pipe run. This nipple measures 1.25 inches in nominal diameter and 10 inches in length, placing it in the close-to-long nipple category suitable for standard plumbing and piping assemblies. At 0.88 pounds, it is a solid, corrosion-resistant fitting appropriate for water, steam, chemical, and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance and strength are required. Stainless steel construction makes it a reliable choice in wet, corrosive, or high-temperature environments such as boiler rooms, chemical process lines, marine installations, and industrial plumbing systems. The NPT thread form is the North American standard, ensuring broad compatibility with NPT fittings and valves across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial supply lines.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness provides standard pressure-rated performance for commercial and residential piping
• NPT threads on both ends for straightforward connection to standard North American fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and high-temperature service environments
• 1.25 inches nominal diameter by 10 inches length for versatile pipe run extensions
• Weighs 0.88 pounds — manageable for single-hand installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in Schedule 40 piping systems. Compatible with any system accepting 1.25-inch NPT male-threaded pipe nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections on stainless fittings, as galling of the threads can occur.
