Value Collection 6BN2*31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 2 in Sch 40 316L

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN2*31/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in commercial and industrial plumbing applications. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 alloys, making it suitable for use with mildly corrosive media, salt water environments, and chemical process lines. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness for a 2-inch pipe size, it delivers reliable pressure-rated performance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in water, gas, and process fluid systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process piping, and marine or coastal installations where chloride-induced corrosion is a concern. The 316 and 316L dual-grade material certification provides added flexibility for welded or threaded fabrication work. It carries a 2-inch pipe size with matching 2-inch thread size, fitting standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves throughout a piping system.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Welded construction meeting Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 2-inch pipe size with 2-inch thread size for standard NPT compatibility
• Dual 316 and 316L material grade certification supports both threaded and welded system use
• Compact, single-piece fitting suitable for tight-space threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 2-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the media being conveyed. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or compromise the seal.
