Value Collection 6BN1/8X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1/8X10 is a stainless steel pipe nipple rated for Schedule 40 service with National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends. This close or standard-length nipple connects two female-threaded fittings or provides a threaded extension point in a piping system. At 1/8 inch nominal diameter and 10 inches in length, it is suited for low-flow fluid, gas, or instrumentation lines where corrosion resistance is required. Stainless steel construction provides durability in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component during new construction or repair work on small-diameter piping runs.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate and refrigerant piping accessories, industrial instrumentation lines, and process piping where a 1/8 inch NPT threaded connection is required. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for small-bore piping. It is a single-unit item suited for spot repairs or low-volume installations requiring a short, threaded stainless steel extension.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and outdoor environments
• 1/8 inch nominal diameter suits small-bore instrumentation and low-flow lines
• 10 inch length provides reach for offset connections or panel-mount installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 stainless steel NPT pipe nipple suitable for use with any 1/8 inch NPT-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment in plumbing, HVAC, or industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench turns as appropriate for the fitting material — do not overtighten stainless threads against brass or cast fittings to avoid galling or cracking.
