Value Collection 4BN3/8X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4BN3/8X10 is a stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems requiring corrosion-resistant connections. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, it delivers the pressure rating and structural integrity expected in demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. The NPT thread standard ensures a leak-tight fit when mated with compatible fittings and valves. At 0.68 inches in outside diameter and 10 inches in length, this nipple suits close-coupled connections where standard pipe stock would require additional cutting and threading. Weighing 0.22 pounds, it is easy to handle and position during assembly. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, steam lines, and general industrial piping where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The Schedule 40 rating makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service across a range of fluid and gas applications. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or repair component for existing threaded piping systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for reliable pressure-rated service
• NPT threads for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and sanitary environments
• 10-inch length suits extensions and close-coupled connections without field threading
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds for easy single-hand positioning during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 40 stainless steel nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before tightening to prevent leaks. Do not over-torque; inspect the joint for leaks after restoring system pressure.
