Value Collection 4BN3/8*2 Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40 304SS

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/8*2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 3/8-inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements, making it suitable for moderate-pressure plumbing and fluid-transfer applications. The 304L designation indicates a low-carbon variant that offers improved weld-zone corrosion resistance. Plumbers and pipefitters use close and short nipples like this to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in tight-clearance runs where threaded joints are required.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and water lines, food-service piping, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel corrosion resistance is specified. The 3/8-inch thread size fits standard NPT fittings and valves in that size range. Grade 304 stainless performs reliably across a broad temperature range and resists corrosion from water, mild chemicals, and steam service.

Key Features

• Grade 304 and 304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for moderate-pressure service
• Welded construction with 3/8-inch NPT thread size
• Low-carbon 304L grade supports applications near weld zones
• Compact form factor for use in tight-clearance piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/8-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing and fluid-transfer 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 line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as stainless fittings can gall if excessive force is applied.
