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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/8*4 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1/8 inch pipe. Manufactured to Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, it delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas piping applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure handling for standard service conditions. This fitting is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on process, HVAC, and utility piping systems where corrosion resistance and material traceability are required.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems where stainless steel fittings are specified. The 1/8 inch pipe size fills small-bore connections in instrumentation lines, gas supply branches, and auxiliary piping runs. Grade 316 and 316L construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive media, marine environments, and food-service or chemical-adjacent applications where carbon steel is not acceptable.

Key Features

• Seamless construction for consistent wall integrity and pressure containment
• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance versus standard 304 grade
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure applications
• 1/8 inch pipe size with matching 1/8 inch thread size for direct in-line installation
• Compact small-bore form factor suited to instrumentation and auxiliary piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended media before threading the nipple into fittings or valves. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless fittings, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless connections.
