Value Collection 6BN11/4X8 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN11/4X8 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 fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a piping run. This nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, making it a close-coupled connector suited for moderate-length extensions between threaded components. At 0.71 pounds, it is a solid, corrosion-resistant fitting appropriate for plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, process piping, and industrial fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

Schedule 40 wall thickness provides adequate pressure capacity for most commercial and residential service lines carrying water, steam, air, or compatible process fluids. The NPT thread form is the standard tapered thread used throughout North American plumbing and industrial piping, ensuring broad fitting compatibility. This nipple is well suited for applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as coastal installations, chemical-adjacent environments, or potable water systems where stainless steel is specified.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure service
• NPT tapered threads on both ends for leak-resistant sealing
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 1-1/4 inches nominal diameter suits common branch and supply line sizes
• 8-inch length provides close-coupled spacing between fittings or equipment ports
• Sold individually — quantity of one per package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT Schedule 40 pipe nipple compatible with any 1-1/4 inches NPT-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports following ANSI pipe thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B31 piping standards for pressure ratings and inspection requirements.
