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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/8*6 is a seamless stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems requiring corrosion-resistant connections. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel and built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple delivers reliable performance in demanding environments where moisture, chemicals, or elevated temperatures are present. The 1/8 inch pipe size makes it a standard fitting for small-bore plumbing, instrumentation, and process lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications where material compatibility and pressure integrity are critical.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC condensate and refrigerant-adjacent piping, chemical processing lines, and marine or coastal installations where chloride corrosion resistance is required. The 316/316L dual-grade designation makes it appropriate for welded or non-welded assemblies. The 1/8 inch thread size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections commonly found in low-flow instrumentation and utility service lines.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance including chloride environments
• Seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential failure points under pressure
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-service pressure ratings in small-bore piping
• 1/8 inch NPT thread size compatible with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Dual-grade 316/316L designation supports both welded and non-welded piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 40, Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel seamless construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service fluid before making up the joint. Avoid over-torquing, which can damage threads on small-bore stainless fittings.
