Value Collection 6BN2*2 Ss Pipe Nipple 2 in 316 316L Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN2*2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 2-inch pipe applications. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas piping systems. The 316/316L dual-grade designation means the material meets both standard and low-carbon specifications, making it suitable for applications where post-weld corrosion resistance is a concern. Plumbers and pipefitters use this style of nipple to create threaded connections between pipe sections, valves, and fittings in industrial, commercial, and marine environments.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid systems where corrosion resistance and strength are required. Grade 316/316L stainless is commonly specified in chemical processing, marine, food service, and coastal installation environments due to its resistance to chlorides and oxidizing agents. The welded construction and Schedule 40 wall thickness make it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in both above-ground and concealed piping applications. A licensed plumber or pipefitter typically handles installation in commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded pipe body meets Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 2-inch pipe size with 2-inch thread size for standard NPT connections
• Dual-grade 316/316L certification suits post-weld service environments
• Compact nipple form factor for close-coupled threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the affected piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid and compatible with stainless steel. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can stress the pipe body or damage threads.
