Value Collection 6BN2*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 2 in 316 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN2*51/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical applications. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple delivers strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments including chemical exposure, saltwater, and high-moisture conditions. It is built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, making it suitable for moderate-pressure service. The 2-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple as a short threaded connector between fittings, valves, or equipment in process and utility piping runs.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, marine installations, and food-service or sanitary systems where 316/316L stainless steel is specified for its elevated molybdenum content and resistance to pitting corrosion. It is appropriate for use in water, steam, chemical, and mild corrosive fluid service lines that call for Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe fittings in a 2-inch pipe size. It is a single-piece item sold individually.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation pipe nipple for 2-inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel piping systems using Grade 316 or 316L material specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and ASME piping codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings or valves. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication.
