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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3/8*6 is a welded stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in fluid handling, instrumentation, and process piping systems. Sized at 3/8 inch pipe with matching 3/8 inch thread, it is manufactured from Grade 316/316L stainless steel — a dual-certified alloy widely specified where corrosion resistance and weld integrity are critical. The Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it suitable for a range of moderate-pressure service applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of nipple as a short threaded connector between valves, fittings, gauges, and piping runs.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process lines, and marine or coastal environments where chloride exposure demands 316-series stainless over standard 304. The welded construction meets common Schedule 40 piping requirements. Applications include instrument connections, pump discharge lines, chemical feed systems, and general service piping where both strength and corrosion resistance are required.

Key Features

• Grade 316/316L dual-certified stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• Welded pipe construction conforming to Schedule 40 wall thickness
• 3/8 inch pipe size with 3/8 inch threaded ends for standard NPT connections
• Suitable for corrosive, marine, and chemical service environments
• Compact form factor for tight instrumentation and valve connection points

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe nipple suitable for use with 3/8 inch NPT fittings, valves, and piping components in Grade 316 stainless steel piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium — verify chemical compatibility when used in aggressive or high-purity fluid systems. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads on stainless components.
