Value Collection 6BN1X8 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN1X8 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threading, designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and other pipe sections. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and high-humidity environments. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with the wide range of NPT-threaded fittings used throughout commercial and residential piping systems. This nipple is sold individually and is a practical stock item for service techs who need a reliable threaded connector on the job.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, refrigeration piping, and general industrial pipe runs where corrosion resistance and pressure-rated Schedule 40 wall thickness are required. It is commonly installed in close or extension nipple applications where a short threaded section is needed to bridge fittings or connect valves to pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard working pressures in plumbing and HVAC piping systems
• NPT thread standard for broad compatibility with domestic and commercial threaded fittings
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor environments
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for replacement or low-quantity service work
• Compact dimensions make it suitable for tight-space installations and close-nipple applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service part for Schedule 40 NPT stainless steel piping systems in plumbing, HVAC hydronic, and general industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads prior to assembly and tighten to snug with pipe wrenches without overtightening to avoid thread damage. Pressure-test the assembly after installation before returning the system to service.
