Value Collection 6BN1/4X8 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/4X8 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded with standard NPT connections on both ends. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join sections of pipe or to connect pipe to fittings, valves, and equipment in fluid and gas distribution systems. This nipple measures approximately 1/4 inch nominal diameter and 8 inches in length, making it suitable for close-quarter runs where a longer threaded extension is needed. At 0.13 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly install these in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This pipe nipple is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general industrial fluid transfer systems. Its stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for typical low- to medium-pressure service lines. NPT threading ensures compatibility with the wide range of standard threaded fittings found in domestic and commercial installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends for broad fitting compatibility
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 1/4 inch nominal diameter with 8-inch length for extended threaded runs
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds for easy single-hand handling during install

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 NPT-threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial fluid transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME or IFGC standards. Shut off the water supply or gas line and relieve system pressure completely before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten fittings with the correct pipe wrenches to avoid cross-threading or over-stressing the connection. Do not use pipe nipples beyond their rated schedule pressure class.
