Value Collection 6BN1*31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 316L

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1*31/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it well suited for demanding fluid handling applications. It is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness for a 1 inch pipe size, providing reliable pressure-rated performance in both liquid and gas service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where corrosion resistance and material integrity are priorities.

This pipe nipple is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems that require stainless steel construction. Typical applications include water supply lines, chemical handling systems, food and beverage processing, and marine or coastal environments where standard carbon steel fittings would be prone to corrosion. The 1 inch pipe size and Schedule 40 rating make it a common choice for general-purpose threaded connections in both new installations and repair work.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded construction meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 1 inch pipe size with matching 1 inch thread size for standard threaded fittings
• Suitable for liquid and gas service in corrosive or sanitary environments
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
