Value Collection 6BN3/4*51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/4*51/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple sized for 3/4-inch pipe in Schedule 40 wall thickness. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong resistance to corrosion, including chloride environments, making it well suited for demanding fluid and gas conveyance applications. The 316L designation indicates a low-carbon variant, which reduces the risk of sensitization during welding or high-heat exposure. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on this type of fitting to extend, connect, or transition pipe runs in both above-ground and in-wall installations.

This pipe nipple is appropriate for use in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and mechanical systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Schedule 40 wall thickness suits standard-pressure service in water, steam, chemical, and mild corrosive fluid lines. The 3/4-inch pipe size is a common dimension in domestic water supply, hydronic heating, and light industrial piping systems. Threaded connections allow for straightforward integration into standard NPT fittings and valves.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Low-carbon 316L alloy reduces sensitization risk in welded or heat-exposed assemblies
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• 3/4-inch pipe size fits common NPT threaded fittings and valves
• Welded construction for consistent dimensional integrity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 3/4-inch Schedule 40 stainless steel piping systems using NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of pipe nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the affected pipe section before making any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads in accordance with IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Do not over-tighten threaded connections on stainless fittings, as galling of threads can occur.
