Value Collection 6BN1/4*3 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/4*3 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, industrial piping, and fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance is required. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements and is threaded at 1/4 inch pipe size. The 316L designation indicates low carbon content, making it well-suited for applications where weld-zone corrosion is a concern. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when assembling or extending threaded pipe runs in corrosive or high-moisture environments.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations, as well as industrial fluid and gas distribution systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The 1/4 inch pipe size and Schedule 40 construction make it a common choice for connecting valves, gauges, and instrumentation in tight-space applications. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 4 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with threaded stainless steel pipe systems. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and the media being conveyed. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the specific system type.
