Value Collection 6BN11/4X51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/4X51/2 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded to NPT standards on both ends. Pipe nipples are short lengths of pipe used to connect two female-threaded fittings, extend a pipe run, or join components in a piping system. This nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in nominal diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length, weighing approximately 0.49 pounds. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This Schedule 40 NPT pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, industrial process lines, and general-purpose fluid transfer applications where corrosion resistance and standard pressure ratings are required. The NPT thread form provides a tapered, pressure-rated connection compatible with standard pipe fittings and valves across a wide range of system types. Sold individually, this nipple is a practical replacement or repair fitting for maintenance and new installation work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active service environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for general piping systems
• NPT tapered threads on both ends for a secure, pressure-rated mechanical connection
• 1-1/4 inch nominal diameter accommodates common mid-range pipe sizing in commercial and residential systems
• 5-1/2 inch length provides adequate reach for typical close-nipple and extension applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with Schedule 40 NPT pipe fittings, valves, and threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

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