Value Collection 4BN3/4X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/4X10 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on both ends. It measures 3/4 inch in nominal pipe size and 10 inches in length, making it a standard close-to-long nipple used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs. At 0.44 pounds, it is lightweight for handling during installation while offering the corrosion resistance expected from stainless steel construction. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in fluid handling, steam, and process piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and hydronic piping, and light industrial process lines where stainless steel is specified over carbon steel or galvanized fittings. The Schedule 40 wall thickness is compatible with standard threaded fittings and valves using NPT connections. Typical applications include boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, utility connections, and anywhere a short threaded extension is needed between fittings or equipment ports.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded piping applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size fits common residential and commercial piping configurations
• 10 inch length provides a usable extension between fittings without requiring a union
• Lightweight at 0.44 pounds for easy single-hand installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 NPT threaded pipe nipple for use with 3/4 inch NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before make-up to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections in stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur on stainless threads.
