Value Collection 6BN21/2X12 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN21/2X12 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on both ends. Pipe nipples of this type serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, and equipment in fluid and gas piping systems. This nipple measures 2.5 inches in nominal pipe size and 12 inches in length, making it a close-to-standard hex nipple suitable for a range of commercial and industrial applications. At 2.71 pounds, it carries the structural integrity expected from Schedule 40 stainless construction. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This pipe nipple is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, process piping, and industrial fluid transfer lines where corrosion resistance is a priority. The stainless steel construction holds up well in wet, chemical-exposure, or sanitary environments. The 12-inch length accommodates installations that require moderate extension between two threaded connection points. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit or repair scenarios requiring a Schedule 40 NPT-threaded stainless fitting at this size.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size with 12-inch overall length
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in Schedule 40 NPT piping systems requiring a 2.5-inch nominal stainless steel pipe nipple at 12-inch length.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using pipe wrenches and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure. Shut off and isolate the system and relieve all pressure before removing or installing threaded pipe fittings. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for pipe support, thread engagement, and system testing after installation. Do not over-tighten NPT connections, as tapered threads can crack fittings if excessive torque is applied.
