Value Collection 6BN11/2*2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2in 316 Sch40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/2*2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe, manufactured to Grade 316/316L material specification at Schedule 40 wall thickness. This nipple is a short threaded fitting used to connect two female-threaded pipe fittings or join sections of a piping run. Grade 316/316L stainless offers strong resistance to corrosion, including chloride environments, making this nipple well suited for demanding fluid-handling applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in both new construction and repair work.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides a balance of strength and compatibility with standard pipe fittings. The 1-1/2 inch thread size fits standard NPT female-threaded valves, unions, and tees. Typical install scenarios include process piping, chemical handling lines, marine plumbing, food-service environments, and general plumbing where stainless steel is specified over carbon steel or brass.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel and the intended service media. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can stress the fitting or damage mating threads.
