Value Collection 6BN1/4*41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/4*41/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/4 inch pipe. It is manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel and built to Schedule 40 wall thickness. This nipple is used to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid systems. The 316/316L alloy provides strong resistance to corrosion, including chloride environments, making it suitable for wet, chemical, or marine service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This pipe nipple fits into threaded piping systems requiring 1/4 inch connections. It is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, chemical processing lines, food service installations, and marine or coastal applications where corrosion resistance is critical. The welded Schedule 40 construction meets standard pressure ratings for typical low-pressure fluid service. It threads into standard NPT fittings, valves, and manifolds sized for 1/4 inch pipe.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Welded Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• 1/4 inch pipe size with standard NPT threading
• Suitable for marine, chemical, and food-grade piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded 1/4 inch NPT piping systems using Schedule 40 fittings.

Installation Notes

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