Value Collection 4BN11/4X8 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN11/4X8 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threading, designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. At 1-1/4 inches nominal diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple connects two threaded pipe fittings or extends a run within a piping assembly. Stainless steel construction provides durability in both wet and chemically aggressive environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though experienced mechanical contractors also work with this component in process and utility piping.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process lines, and similar applications where NPT-threaded Schedule 40 fittings are specified. The 8-inch length makes it useful where a standard close or short nipple falls short and a longer extension is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Stainless steel is commonly selected for systems carrying corrosive fluids, potable water, or steam.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 8-inch length provides a full extension between fittings or equipment ports
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter suits moderate-flow residential and commercial piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 pipe nipple for use with compatible 1-1/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and equipment connections in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC codes for the system type. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before makeup to ensure a leak-free joint. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication.
