Value Collection 6BN3X31/2 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3X31/2 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading. Pipe nipples serve as short threaded connectors between fittings, valves, or equipment ports in fluid and gas piping systems. This nipple is built from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or hygienic service environments. Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure-bearing requirements for typical commercial and industrial piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install nipples as part of system assembly, modification, or repair work.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, process piping, and industrial fluid transfer systems where corrosion resistance is required. NPT threading makes it compatible with standard pipe fittings, valves, and equipment connections found throughout North American plumbing and mechanical systems. Typical install scenarios include boiler connections, chilled water loops, steam distribution tie-ins, and chemical or sanitary service lines requiring stainless material.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and sanitary service environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure-service requirements
• NPT threading for compatibility with standard North American pipe fittings and valves
• Short nipple form factor suited for close-coupled connections between fittings and equipment
• Sold individually (quantity of one per package)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 NPT stainless steel pipe nipple for use with compatible NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

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