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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/8*4 is a 3/8-inch stainless steel pipe nipple constructed from Grade 304/304L stainless steel using a welded process. Rated to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection for plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The dual 304/304L material designation makes it compatible with low-carbon welding requirements and standard service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use this type of fitting to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in a wide range of fluid-handling applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems where 3/8-inch threaded connections are required. Typical applications include water supply lines, compressed air distribution, steam service at appropriate pressure ratings, and chemical-resistant piping where stainless steel is specified over carbon steel or brass. The 304/304L grade performs well in corrosive environments and is widely accepted in food-service, industrial, and HVAC mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Welded pipe construction rated to Schedule 40 wall thickness
• 3/8-inch pipe size with 3/8-inch thread size for standard NPT connections
• Low-carbon 304L designation supports welded installations without sensitization concerns
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and cataloging compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe nipple compatible with NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe couplings in stainless steel, brass, or compatible metallic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Refer to applicable IPC or IFGC codes for required pressure ratings and material approvals for the intended service.
