Value Collection 6BN1*11/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 316L

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1*11/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements, making it suitable for moderate-pressure applications in commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and process piping. The 1-inch pipe size fits standard threaded fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in systems where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or corrosive environments makes carbon steel an unacceptable material choice. Typical applications include chilled water and hot water piping, marine environments, food-service plumbing, and chemical process lines. The 316 and 316L dual-grade certification provides added versatility, with the low-carbon 316L variant preferred where welding to adjacent components is required to prevent sensitization and intergranular corrosion.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded manufacturing process consistent with Schedule 40 pressure ratings
• 1-inch pipe size with standard NPT-compatible threading
• Low-carbon 316L designation supports weld-adjacent installations without sensitization risk
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting compatible with standard 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe systems using NPT connections in stainless steel piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and the media being conveyed. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting or adjacent components.
