Schedule 40 construction provides the wall strength required for standard pressure applications in plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial piping. The NPT thread form creates a tapered mechanical seal when assembled with a compatible fitting or valve. At 0.53 pounds, this nipple is sized for easy single-handed installation in tight spaces. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use close and short nipples like this one to make rigid pipe-to-fitting connections where flexibility is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including water supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and hydronic heating loops. The stainless steel material offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically aggressive environments where carbon steel or galvanized nipples would degrade over time. The 3\/4-inch nominal diameter and 12-inch length make it a standard choice for branch runs and riser connections in medium-flow systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure piping service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT tapered threads on both ends for leak-resistant mechanical sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch nominal diameter fits standard 3\/4 inch NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 inch length suits branch runs and riser connections without field cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple compatible with any Schedule 40, 3\/4 inch NPT piping system using stainless steel or compatible-alloy fittings, valves, and couplings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied without proper lubrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (OD Reference)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.05 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.53 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Value Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6BN3\/4X12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714270855474,"sku":"6BN3\/4X12","price":28.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a2ebfcfb0e7a6df3e4f9495ae00badde.jpg?v=1788498656","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-6bn3-4x12-ss-pipe-nipple-sch-40-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
