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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN2*6 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for fluid and gas piping systems requiring corrosion-resistant fittings. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong resistance to chloride corrosion and elevated-temperature service. The Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure and flow requirements for commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC piping, and process piping applications. The welded construction provides a consistent, reliable joint suitable for a wide range of system pressures. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this grade of fitting in corrosive or marine environments where carbon steel is not appropriate.

This pipe nipple is suited for 2-inch piping systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. Common applications include process fluid lines, chemical transfer systems, marine plumbing, food-service piping, and corrosion-sensitive HVAC hydronic systems. The 316 and 316L dual-grade designation makes it compatible with both standard and low-carbon welding requirements, broadening its use across system types that demand higher corrosion resistance than standard 304 stainless fittings provide.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• Welded construction meets Schedule 40 dimensional and pressure standards
• 2-inch pipe size and thread size for direct integration into standard 2-inch piping systems
• Low-carbon 316L designation supports post-weld applications without sensitization concerns
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for streamlined procurement and cataloging

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and ASME B31 piping codes. Shut off and isolate the piping system and relieve all pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use an appropriate thread sealant rated for stainless steel and compatible with the conveyed fluid. Avoid over-tightening threaded connections, as stainless steel fittings are susceptible to thread galling.
