Value Collection 4BN1X12 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt 12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN1X12 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threads, designed for use in piping systems that require corrosion resistance and reliable threaded connections. At 12 inches in length, this nipple serves as a straight connector between threaded fittings, valves, or other pipe components. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard American pipe fittings across a wide range of commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of component.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, and light industrial fluid handling where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. It is appropriate for use in wet, high-humidity, or chemically active environments where carbon steel would be prone to corrosion. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides a balance of pressure handling capability and manageable weight for standard service conditions.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• NPT threads for compatibility with standard American threaded fittings
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 12-inch length suits extensions, bypasses, and close-quarter piping runs
• Single-piece package quantity for individual replacement or system build-out

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 NPT-threaded stainless steel piping systems in plumbing, hydronic, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not over-torque the connection, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
