Value Collection 6BN3/4X8 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/4X8 is a Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe nipple threaded to NPT standards. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe with male threads on both ends, used to connect fittings, valves, and other components within a piping system. This nipple measures 3/4 inch nominal pipe size and 8 inches in length, making it a close-coupling solution in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial process lines where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are critical. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, HVAC hydronic lines, and light industrial piping where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The Schedule 40 wall thickness is appropriate for standard-pressure service in water, steam, and compatible fluid lines. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-point repairs or low-quantity installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 3/4 inch nominal pipe size with 8-inch length for close-coupling applications
• Sold as a single unit for repair or low-quantity use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded Schedule 40 pipe nipple for use with 3/4 inch NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
