Value Collection 6BN1*5 Ss Pipe Nipple 1 in Sch 40 316 316L

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1*5 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-inch pipe, manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness and Grade 316/316L material specification. This nipple is used to connect or extend threaded pipe runs in plumbing, industrial, and fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are required. Grade 316/316L stainless steel provides enhanced resistance to chlorides and harsh process environments compared to standard 304-grade fittings. The Schedule 40 wall rating makes this nipple suitable for moderate-pressure service in both liquid and gas applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, marine installations, and chemical handling systems where stainless steel is specified. The 1-inch pipe size and 1-inch thread size make it a direct fit into standard 1-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and flanges. Its welded construction suits applications that require a consistent bore and a reliable pressure-rated joint without the limitations of seamless alternatives at this size and schedule.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and chloride-rich environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for moderate-pressure pipe service
• Welded construction provides consistent wall integrity and bore dimension
• 1-inch pipe size with 1-inch NPT thread for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• Dual-certified 316/316L designation supports both standard and low-carbon material requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service environment. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up the threaded connection. Do not over-torque stainless steel threads, as galling can occur and damage both the nipple and mating fitting.
