Value Collection 6BN3/8*31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 3/8 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/8*31/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, piping, and fluid-handling systems that require corrosion-resistant threaded connections. Manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel and built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple delivers reliable performance in demanding environments where moisture, chemicals, or elevated temperatures are present. The 3/8 inch pipe size suits small-bore applications, and the threaded ends allow straightforward connection to standard fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where 3/8 inch Schedule 40 threaded connections are required. Grade 316/316L stainless steel makes it appropriate for applications involving mild corrosives, salt water exposure, or hygienic service lines. It is commonly used in HVAC condensate lines, plumbing supply runs, process piping, and mechanical rooms where stainless fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Shut off the water or fluid supply and depressurize the line before fitting removal or installation. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for stainless steel threaded connections. Avoid over-tightening, which can stress welded stainless nipples and lead to thread damage.
