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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2*11/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping systems. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers solid corrosion resistance in demanding environments including exposure to chlorides, acids, and marine conditions. It is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and features a 1/2-inch pipe size with matching 1/2-inch thread size. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, process piping, chemical handling lines, and marine or coastal installations where standard carbon steel fittings would be subject to accelerated corrosion. The 1/2-inch size fits standard half-inch threaded pipe runs and is a common size in both supply and return line configurations across a wide range of piping applications.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304-series alloys
• Welded construction meeting Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 1/2-inch pipe size with 1/2-inch thread size for standard NPT threaded connections
• Dual-grade 316/316L designation supports both standard and low-carbon weld-compliance requirements
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, suitable for tight or weight-sensitive installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service medium. Avoid over-torquing threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur on stainless threads.
