Value Collection 6BN1/2*31/2 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2*31/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, piping, and fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple provides strong resistance to chloride corrosion and pitting, making it suitable for demanding wet and chemical environments. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, it handles the pressure requirements of standard commercial and industrial piping runs. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as a threaded connector between pipe sections, valves, fittings, or equipment ports.

This pipe nipple is intended for 1/2 inch pipe applications. The Schedule 40 construction suits residential and light commercial plumbing, process piping, and industrial installations where stainless steel is specified for sanitary or corrosion-resistance requirements. Grade 316 and 316L material makes it appropriate for marine environments, chemical service, food processing, and similar applications where standard carbon steel or lower-grade stainless would not hold up. Welded construction is standard for this product type.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded construction for consistent wall integrity throughout the nipple body
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for 1/2 inch pipe
• 1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1/2 inch thread size for direct connection to standard fittings
• Suitable for wet, chemical, and marine service environments

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded stainless steel pipe nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the service fluid before threading the nipple into place. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for material selection, pressure ratings, and inspection.
