Value Collection 6BN21/2X3 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN21/2X3 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded to NPT standards on both ends. Pipe nipples serve as short connecting sections between fittings, valves, and equipment in piping systems. This nipple is manufactured from stainless steel, offering resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures. The Schedule 40 wall thickness suits a wide range of standard pressure applications. At approximately 0.7 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting designed for reliable threaded assembly in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping work.

Schedule 40 stainless steel NPT nipples are commonly installed in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial process piping systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include steam, hot water, chemical, and general fluid distribution lines. This fitting is suited for both new construction and replacement work in commercial and light industrial environments where stainless steel is specified by code or design.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain fluid from the line before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly — do not overtighten, as stainless steel threads can gall. Inspect threads for damage before installation.
