Value Collection 4BN3/8*3 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/8*3 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness standards and carries a 3/8 inch pipe thread size. It is suited for plumbing, HVAC hydronic lines, and light industrial piping applications where a reliable threaded connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting as part of branch connections, gauge ports, valve assemblies, or short close-nipple runs between threaded components.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications involving water, steam, or compatible fluid service lines. Its Grade 304/304L construction makes it a practical choice in environments subject to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling. The 3/8 inch pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports commonly found in plumbing and HVAC hydronic systems. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and light industrial piping systems using Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not over-torque threaded stainless fittings, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless connections.
