Value Collection 6BN1/8*31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1/8 in Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/8*31/2 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in demanding industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications. Manufactured to Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong resistance to corrosion, chlorides, and high-temperature environments. It is sized at 1/8 inch pipe with matching 1/8 inch threads and is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness. This type of fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on process piping, fluid transfer, or HVAC hydronic systems where stainless fittings are specified.

This pipe nipple suits residential and commercial piping applications where Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel is required for corrosion resistance. Common uses include chemical feed lines, marine plumbing, food-grade process lines, and other systems where standard carbon steel fittings are not acceptable. The 1/8 inch pipe size makes it appropriate for low-flow instrument connections, gauge ports, and pilot lines. It threads directly into standard NPT-compatible fittings, valves, and manifolds.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Seamless construction for consistent wall integrity and pressure reliability
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty threaded piping systems
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• Suitable for high-moisture, chemical, and marine environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the 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 joint. Do not over-torque small-diameter nipples, as this can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
