Value Collection 6BN11/4*21/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/4*21/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 1-1/4 inch pipe, constructed to Schedule 40 wall thickness in Grade 316/316L stainless steel. This nipple serves as a threaded connector between pipe sections or fittings in fluid and gas distribution systems. Grade 316/316L offers strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure, making it a reliable choice for demanding service environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when joining threaded pipe runs or making up close-coupled fitting assemblies.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and mechanical systems where stainless steel construction is required. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for typical water, steam, and process fluid service. The 1-1/4 inch thread size allows direct connection to standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves of the same nominal size.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems using 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Use a pipe wrench on the hex or body of the nipple and avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or gall stainless threads. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded piping component.
