Value Collection 4BN11/4X41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN11/4X41/2 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threading. Pipe nipples are short lengths of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a piping run. This nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length, making it suitable for close-coupled connections in fluid and gas piping systems. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping assemblies.

Schedule 40 NPT pipe nipples are commonly used in water supply, steam, compressed air, and process piping systems. This nipple fits standard 1-1/4-inch NPT female fittings and is appropriate for both above-grade and in-line installations where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include mechanical rooms, boiler piping, and process lines where stainless steel is specified over carbon steel or black iron for longevity in wet or chemically aggressive environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping service
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard female-threaded fittings
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits common residential and commercial piping configurations
• 4-1/2 inch overall length suits close-coupled and short-extension connection needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 NPT stainless steel pipe nipple for use with any 1-1/4-inch NPT-threaded female fittings, valves, or pipe couplings in conforming piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
