Value Collection 6BN1/2*3 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2*3 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid transfer, plumbing, and process piping systems requiring corrosion-resistant fittings. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong resistance to chlorides, acids, and other corrosive media commonly encountered in industrial and commercial applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure-handling capability for standard service conditions. This fitting is used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on systems where material compatibility and durability under corrosive conditions are required.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing and process piping installations. Its 1/2 inch pipe size and NPT thread configuration make it a practical component in manifold assemblies, equipment connections, and inline piping runs. The 316/316L dual-certified material grade is commonly specified in marine, chemical processing, food service, and coastal environments where standard 304 stainless or carbon steel fittings are not adequate for the service conditions.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded construction meeting Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1/2 inch thread size
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and specification compliance
• Dual-certified 316/316L material grade suitable for demanding service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media and temperature range of the system. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
