Value Collection 6BN11/4X41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/4X41/2 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threading on both ends. Pipe nipples are short threaded sections of pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or equipment ports within a piping system. This nipple measures 1-1/4 inches nominal diameter and 4-1/2 inches in length. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or high-humidity environments. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard threaded fittings across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of component.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where corrosion resistance and Schedule 40 wall thickness are required. Common applications include water supply lines, steam systems, chemical service piping, and hydronic heating distribution. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for general-purpose pipe service. It is sold individually and is a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventory.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical service environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard pressure-rated piping applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter for mid-range flow capacity
• 4-1/2 inch overall length suits close-coupling and short-offset piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 pipe nipple compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and threaded pipe connections in general-purpose plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME standards. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive force is applied.
