Value Collection 6BN1/2*41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2*41/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC, and process piping applications. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments, including those exposed to chlorides and aggressive media. It is constructed to Schedule 40 wall thickness and features a 1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1/2 inch thread size. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple to connect threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel is commonly specified in marine environments, chemical handling, food service, and any system where standard carbon steel or 304 stainless would be insufficient. The Schedule 40 wall provides adequate pressure handling for typical fluid and gas service lines where threaded NPT connections are standard practice.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded construction with Schedule 40 wall thickness
• 1/2 inch pipe size with 1/2 inch threaded ends for standard NPT connections
• Suitable for use in chloride-rich, marine, and chemical service environments
• Compact form factor for tight-space installations between fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard 1/2 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in Schedule 40 threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the specific media being conveyed. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
