Value Collection 4BN3/4X12 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/4X12 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 diameter and 12 inches in length, making it a standard close-to-length fitting used to connect or extend pipe runs in pressurized systems. At 0.52 pounds, this nipple is suited for plumbing, HVAC hydronic loops, industrial process lines, and other applications where corrosion resistance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This Schedule 40 stainless steel nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, steam lines, chemical process piping, and hydronic heating applications. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with the wide range of NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment found across trade installations. Its stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments exposed to moisture, mild corrosives, or elevated temperatures where carbon steel would be unsuitable.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug, leak-free fit using pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
