Value Collection 4BN2X8 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN2X8 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading on both ends. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join pipe sections, valves, fittings, or equipment in pressurized fluid and gas systems. This nipple is constructed from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install pipe nipples as part of new construction and repair work across a wide range of mechanical systems. The Schedule 40 designation indicates a standard wall thickness suitable for common working pressure requirements in residential and commercial piping applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process piping, and general mechanical installations where a corrosion-resistant threaded connector is required. Stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. It is packaged individually and is appropriate for service, repair, and retrofit work where a single fitting replacement is needed.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• Single-piece packaging suitable for service and repair work
• Weighs 1.14 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping systems using standard pipe fittings, valves, and threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME or IFGC standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings can gall if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication or sealant.
