Value Collection 6BN1*21/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 316L

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1*21/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid-handling and piping systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness standards, providing consistent pressure ratings suitable for demanding installations. The 1-inch pipe size makes it a common choice for both new construction and retrofit piping work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in commercial and industrial environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or corrosive media is a concern.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems that require stainless steel construction. Grade 316 and 316L stainless is widely specified in food service, marine, chemical processing, and general industrial applications due to its enhanced resistance to chlorides and pitting corrosion. The Schedule 40 wall thickness is compatible with standard 1-inch threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in both residential and light commercial piping layouts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended media. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, which can stress the fitting body and compromise the joint.
