Value Collection 6BN1/2X8 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/2X8 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded with standard NPT connections on both ends. This type of fitting connects two female-threaded pipe fittings or valves in a straight run, maintaining system pressure and flow integrity. At 8 inches in length with a nominal pipe size of 1/2 inch, it is suited for piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure durability are required. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for water, steam, chemical, and other fluid service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in commercial and residential mechanical systems as part of threaded pipe assemblies.

This pipe nipple is used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems that require a short threaded extension or a close connection between fittings. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate pressure handling for typical mechanical service. The NPT thread form is the standard in North American pipe systems, making this nipple compatible with the broad range of NPT-threaded valves, couplings, tees, elbows, and other fittings commonly found in the field. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit or repair work.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with North American threaded fittings
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and steam environments
• 8-inch length provides clearance for close-coupled fitting connections
• 1/2-inch nominal pipe size fits the most common small-bore piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 NPT threaded pipe systems using 1/2-inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
