Value Collection 6BN1/2*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2*51/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for 1/2 inch pipe connections in fluid and gas piping systems. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel and rated to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding plumbing and industrial piping applications. The dual-grade 316/316L designation makes it compatible with both standard and low-carbon weld applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial environments where corrosion resistance and material traceability are required by specification.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, process piping, and fluid handling installations where stainless steel is specified. It is appropriate for use in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or corrosive media where carbon steel fittings would be unsuitable. The 1/2 inch pipe size and Schedule 40 rating make it a common selection for water supply, instrumentation, and general-purpose piping runs requiring threaded connections.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• Welded construction consistent with standard pipe nipple manufacturing
• 1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1/2 inch thread size
• Dual-grade 316/316L material suitable for welded or threaded 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 of threaded pipe nipples is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium on all NPT threads. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to galling.
