Value Collection 6BN1/2X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2X10 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threads, used to create short pipe runs or extend threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. The nipple measures 0.84 inches in outer diameter and 10 inches in length, with a nominal pipe size of 1/2 inch. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or high-temperature environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics routinely install this type of fitting where standard steel or galvanized nipples would corrode or fail prematurely.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving water supply lines, steam systems, compressed air, or process piping where corrosion resistance is required. The NPT thread form is the standard in North American pipe installations, making this nipple a direct fit into NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and service replacement work.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service applications
• NPT thread standard for compatibility with North American pipe fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size at 10 inches in length for extended threaded connections
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excess torque is applied.
