Value Collection 4BN3/8*5 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/8*5 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance and strength are required. Manufactured from Grade 304/304L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness standards and is threaded at 3/8 inch to allow direct connection to standard pipe fittings and valves. The 304/304L dual certification makes it suitable for both standard and low-carbon applications where weld heat-affected zones require added corrosion protection. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in trade applications.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, HVAC condensate and process piping, and general industrial fluid handling applications where a 3/8 inch threaded connection is specified. It is well suited for installations requiring stainless steel fittings in corrosive or sanitary environments. The welded construction and Schedule 40 rating make it appropriate for standard pressure service in water, steam, and compatible fluid systems.

Key Features

• Grade 304/304L stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• Welded manufacturing process with Schedule 40 wall thickness for reliable pressure-rated service
• 3/8 inch threaded pipe size for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Dual-certified 304/304L material suitable for applications where post-weld corrosion resistance is a concern
• Compact fitting suitable for tight-space installations in plumbing and mechanical systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation pipe nipple for 3/8 inch Schedule 40 threaded piping systems using NPT-compatible fittings and valves.

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 piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service fluid on all NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to galling.
