Value Collection 6BN11/2*5 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in 316L Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/2*5 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe, manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel to Schedule 40 wall thickness. This nipple serves as a threaded connector between pipe sections or fittings in fluid and gas distribution systems. Grade 316 and 316L stainless offer elevated corrosion resistance compared to standard 304-series material, making them appropriate for installations exposed to chlorides, chemicals, or moisture. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping runs where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, and mechanical systems where 1-1/2 inch threaded connections are specified. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure requirements in both commercial and light industrial applications. The welded construction is standard for stainless nipples in this size range. Installations may include water supply, chilled water, chemical distribution, and similar fluid-handling systems where stainless steel is the specified material.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• Welded construction consistent with industry-standard stainless nipple fabrication
• 1-1/2 inch pipe size with matching 1-1/2 inch thread size
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded pipe nipple for use with 1-1/2 inch Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe and fittings in systems requiring Grade 316 or 316L material.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code. Depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and compatible with stainless steel. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, which can crack fittings or gall stainless threads.
