Value Collection 6BN1/2*4 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/2 in 316 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2*4 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/2 inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides a robust construction that meets standard pressure requirements for commercial and industrial piping systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians typically install these nipples as close, short, or extension connectors in threaded piping runs.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The Grade 316 and 316L dual certification makes it appropriate for environments exposed to chlorides or other corrosive media, including marine, chemical processing, and food-service adjacent installations. The 1/2 inch thread size fits standard NPT fittings and valves used throughout residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off the fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media to all NPT threads before assembly. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or distort the nipple threads.
