Value Collection 6BN1X10 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1X10 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading. Pipe nipples are short lengths of pipe threaded on both ends, used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a pipe run. This nipple is suited for plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial piping, and general fluid-transfer applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or elevated temperatures where carbon steel would degrade. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, steam lines, and process piping installations. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for most commercial and residential service conditions. NPT threading ensures compatibility with the full range of standard NPT fittings, valves, and pipe connectors commonly used across plumbing and mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for residential and commercial service
• NPT threads on both ends for broad compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• Suitable for plumbing, hydronic heating, steam, and general fluid-transfer applications
• Single-piece package quantity for precise procurement on service calls or small jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 pipe fittings and valves used in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any pipe work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
