Value Collection 4BN2X12 Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt 2x12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN2X12 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded with standard NPT connections on both ends. Pipe nipples are short-run pipe sections used to join fittings, valves, and equipment in pressurized fluid and gas systems. This nipple measures 2 inches in nominal diameter and 12 inches in length, making it a close-fit extension piece for a wide range of plumbing and mechanical applications. At 1.69 pounds, the stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC hydronic piping, process piping, and industrial fluid handling where corrosion resistance is required. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard pipe fittings throughout North American installations. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets typical service pressure requirements for water, steam, and compatible gas systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
