Value Collection 6BN2*41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 2 in 316 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN2*41/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple rated for 2-inch pipe at Schedule 40 wall thickness. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications. The dual-grade 316/316L designation provides compatibility with both standard and low-carbon welding requirements. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, and other pipe components in process and utility piping systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and marine or chemical environments where standard carbon steel or brass fittings are not appropriate. Grade 316 stainless is commonly specified in systems handling chlorides, mild acids, and corrosive fluids. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets typical pressure and flow requirements for 2-inch pipe runs. It is sold individually and fits into systems using standard NPT threaded connections.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Welded construction per Schedule 40 wall thickness requirements
• 2-inch pipe size with standard NPT threading
• Suitable for corrosive fluid, chemical, and marine piping environments
• Low-carbon 316L variant supports post-weld applications without carbide precipitation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping systems using standard pipe fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and temperature. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
