Value Collection 6BN1/8*3/4 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/8*3/4 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/8 inch pipe, manufactured to Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel specification. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides standard pressure capacity for threaded piping assemblies. This nipple is used to connect or extend threaded pipe runs in plumbing, process, and fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or corrosive media rules out carbon steel or lower-grade stainless alloys. The 316 and 316L dual-grade rating makes it suitable for both standard service and low-carbon weld-sensitive environments.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, as well as industrial fluid and gas piping where 1/8 inch threaded connections are required. Its welded construction and Schedule 40 rating make it appropriate for use in water supply lines, compressed air systems, and chemical transfer piping where a corrosion-resistant stainless fitting is specified. The 1/8 inch thread size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and instrumentation ports of the same size.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance
• Welded pipe body with Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size compatible with standard threaded fittings and instrumentation ports
• Low-carbon 316L designation suitable for applications requiring reduced sensitization risk
• Compact form factor for tight spaces and close-coupled connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fitting for 1/8 inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before threading the nipple into place. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to galling.
