Value Collection 6BN3/4*3 Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 40 316SS

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/4*3 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid transfer, plumbing, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers corrosion resistance in demanding environments, including those with exposure to chlorides, chemicals, and moisture. It is machined to Schedule 40 wall thickness for 3/4 inch pipe and features threaded ends for standard NPT connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this component when building or repairing threaded piping assemblies.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure systems. The 316/316L dual-grade designation allows use in both standard and weld-fabricated assemblies. It is commonly used in process piping, water service, chemical handling lines, and marine or coastal installations where 304 stainless may not provide sufficient corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance over standard 304 grade
• Welded construction to Schedule 40 wall thickness for 3/4 inch pipe size
• Threaded ends at 3/4 inch thread size for standard NPT fitting connections
• Dual-grade 316/316L designation supports use in welded and non-welded piping assemblies
• Suitable for chemical, marine, and moisture-heavy service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 3/4 inch threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 stainless steel components.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up the threaded connection. Do not over-tighten threaded stainless fittings, as galling of threads can occur.
