Value Collection 6BN4X27/8 Ss Pipe Nipple Sch 40 Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN4X27/8 is a stainless steel pipe nipple manufactured to Schedule 40 wall thickness with NPT threading on both ends. Pipe nipples serve as short-length connectors between fittings, valves, and pipe runs in pressurized fluid and gas systems. The Schedule 40 rating indicates standard wall thickness suitable for a broad range of working pressures. NPT threads provide a tapered, pressure-tight connection when assembled with compatible fittings and thread sealant. This nipple is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, steam service, chemical-resistant process piping, and HVAC hydronic systems. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where carbon steel would be susceptible to corrosion, including outdoor installations and wet mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 wall thickness for standard-pressure service
• NPT tapered threads for leak-resistant, wrench-made connections
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings
• Sold individually for single-piece replacement or repair use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using Schedule 40 NPT stainless steel piping components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to a wrench-tight fit. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
