Value Collection 6BN1/4*7/8 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/4 in Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/4*7/8 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple meets Schedule 40 wall thickness standards, making it suitable for moderate-pressure applications in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping installations. The 1/4 inch pipe size and matching 1/4 inch thread size allow for straightforward integration into standard threaded piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of supply lines, instrument connections, and process piping runs.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance, including water treatment systems, chemical transfer lines, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant piping assemblies. The Grade 316 and 316L dual certification makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to chlorides or mildly corrosive media. The 1/4 inch pipe size fits common small-bore instrument and control line configurations encountered in mechanical and process piping work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media being conveyed before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur and damage the threads.
