Value Collection 6BN3/8*41/2 Ss Pipe Nipple 3/8 in 316 Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/8*41/2 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, industrial, and mechanical systems. Manufactured from Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel, this nipple offers strong corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for wet, chemical-exposure, or marine environments. It is sized for 3/8 inch pipe at Schedule 40 wall thickness, which defines the pressure-rated pipe wall dimensions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe runs in process, utility, or service piping systems.

This pipe nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, industrial fluid handling, and mechanical piping applications where corrosion resistance is required. The 316 and 316L alloy grades are standard choices in environments exposed to chlorides, mild acids, or moisture. Schedule 40 sizing aligns this fitting with standard threaded pipe assemblies in low- to moderate-pressure service. Each unit is sold individually, though the minimum order quantity is 4 units per purchase.

Key Features

• Grade 316 and 316L stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded construction meeting Schedule 40 wall thickness specifications
• 3/8 inch pipe size with matching 3/8 inch thread size for standard threaded connections
• Suitable for wet, chemical, and marine service environments
• Compact and lightweight at 0.01 pounds for easy handling in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 3/8 inch Schedule 40 threaded stainless steel pipe systems in plumbing and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working under applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before tightening. Do not overtighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless connections.
