Value Collection 6BN1/4*31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/4*31/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/4 inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid-handling and process-piping environments. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate pressure-bearing capacity for standard commercial and industrial installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors use close and short nipples like this one to make tight-space connections between threaded fittings, valves, and instrumentation ports where a standard pipe length would not fit.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC hydronic piping, industrial process lines, and marine or coastal installations where chloride corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316/316L stainless steel is commonly specified in food-service, pharmaceutical, and chemical-handling environments where 304-grade material is insufficient. The 1/4 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves in small-bore instrumentation and utility lines.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion and chloride resistance
• Welded construction to Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings
• 1/4 inch pipe size with standard NPT thread for broad fitting compatibility
• Compact form factor suited for tight-space and close-coupled connections
• Dual-certified 316/316L material grade supports applications requiring low carbon content

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and industrial process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Isolate and depressurize the line and drain standing fluid before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up the joint. Do not over-torque threaded stainless fittings, as galling of the threads can make disassembly difficult.
