Value Collection 6BN3/8*11/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/8*11/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial applications. Constructed from Grade 316/316L stainless steel and manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple delivers corrosion resistance in demanding environments including those with exposure to chlorides, moisture, and chemical media. The 3/8-inch pipe size and matching 3/8-inch thread size make it a direct-fit component for standard NPT piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where stainless material is specified.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where Grade 316 or 316L stainless steel is required for corrosion resistance or sanitary compliance. Typical applications include water supply lines, process piping, steam service, and chemical handling systems. The welded Schedule 40 construction meets common piping specifications for both above-ground and concealed installations. It is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 4 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty piping applications
• 3/8-inch pipe size with 3/8-inch NPT thread size
• Suitable for water, steam, chemical, and process piping systems
• Compact nipple form factor for tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard 3/8-inch NPT threaded piping systems requiring Schedule 40 stainless steel fittings.

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 piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into place. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
