Value Collection 6BN21/2X31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN21/2X31/2 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading on both ends. Pipe nipples are short-length threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, or equipment in fluid and gas piping systems. This nipple measures 2.5 inches in nominal pipe size with an overall length of 3.5 inches. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC-mechanical contractors install nipples like this as part of system assembly, repair, or modification work on piping networks.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial process piping applications where corrosion resistance and Schedule 40 pressure ratings are required. The NPT thread form is the standard for most North American piping systems, making this nipple compatible with the vast majority of threaded fittings, valves, and equipment connections found in the field. It is sold individually, making it a practical choice for service and repair work requiring a single replacement piece.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and high-humidity service environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets common pressure service requirements for pipe nipples
• NPT threading on both ends ensures compatibility with standard North American threaded fittings and valves
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size with 3.5-inch overall length suits a range of close-quarter connection needs
• Sold as a single unit for targeted repair or replacement work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 pipe nipple for use with compatible threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and equipment connections in 2.5-inch nominal pipe size systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before beginning any threaded pipe work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads per the system service requirements. Use a pipe wrench sized for 2.5-inch pipe and avoid overtightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
