Value Collection 6BN21/2X6 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN21/2X6 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple with NPT threading, designed for use in pressurized piping systems where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are required. This close or short nipple provides a rigid, threaded connection between fittings, valves, and other piped components. It is suited for plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid-handling applications where stainless steel construction is specified. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this type of fitting in both commercial and residential settings.

This pipe nipple is commonly installed in water supply lines, steam systems, chemical distribution piping, and other fluid-handling assemblies that require resistance to corrosion and high-temperature service. The NPT thread pattern is compatible with standard American pipe fittings and valves. It ships individually and is appropriate for use in new installations or as a direct replacement in existing Schedule 40 piping systems where a stainless nipple is called for.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping applications
• NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with American pipe fittings and valves
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• Single-piece solid construction with no seams or joints
• Sold individually for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 NPT piping systems using standard American pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as stainless steel threads can gall if excess torque is applied without proper lubrication.
