Value Collection 6BN3X51/2 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN3X51/2 is a stainless steel pipe nipple designed for use in pressurized piping systems where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are required. Built to Schedule 40 wall thickness and threaded to NPT standards on both ends, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial process applications. Stainless steel construction resists rust and chemical attack, making it appropriate for wet, corrosive, or high-humidity environments. Installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters, it is a standard component in both new construction and retrofit piping work.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where Schedule 40 wall thickness meets system pressure and flow requirements. Typical applications include connecting threaded valves, gauges, strainers, and fittings in water supply, steam, condensate, and process lines. The NPT thread form ensures compatibility with standard threaded pipe components throughout North American trade supply.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion and rust resistance
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-duty pressure applications
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings
• Suitable for water, steam, condensate, and process piping systems
• Single-piece unit, sold individually

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component compatible with standard Schedule 40 NPT threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as stainless steel threads are susceptible to galling.
