Value Collection 6BN11/2*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/2*51/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments including exposure to chlorides and acidic media. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides reliable pressure-bearing capacity for standard plumbing and industrial piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when connecting threaded pipe sections in systems where corrosion resistance is critical. The dual-grade 316/316L designation makes it suitable for both standard service and applications where post-weld corrosion resistance is required.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems, industrial process piping, marine installations, chemical handling lines, and food-service or sanitary piping where stainless steel is specified. The 1-1/2 inch pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same nominal size. Schedule 40 wall thickness aligns with common pressure-class requirements in mechanical and plumbing systems. It is suited for liquid, gas, and steam service within the rated pressure and temperature limits of Grade 316 stainless steel pipe at Schedule 40 wall.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded construction with Schedule 40 wall thickness
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading
• 316L dual-grade rating supports use in applications requiring post-weld corrosion resistance
• Suitable for liquid, gas, and steam service in corrosive environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for 1-1/2 inch NPT-threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 40 stainless steel fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or certified pipefitters in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or ASME B31 piping standards. Isolate and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media and temperature. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads on stainless components.
