Value Collection 6BN11/2*3 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in 316 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/2*3 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in piping systems that require corrosion-resistant fittings. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple delivers strong resistance to chloride environments, chemicals, and high-moisture conditions. It is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and carries a 1-1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1-1/2 inch thread size. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in process piping, industrial systems, and commercial plumbing applications where standard carbon steel fittings are not appropriate.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process lines, and marine or coastal installations where exposure to corrosive media is a concern. The Grade 316 and 316L material designation makes it a standard choice for applications involving saltwater, mild acids, or sanitary piping. It is commonly used in conjunction with Schedule 40 pipe and compatible stainless fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements.
