Value Collection 6BN4X5 Stainless Steel Pipe Nipple 5 in Sch 40

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6BN4X5 is a stainless steel close-pattern pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping systems where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are required. At 5 inches in length and built to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this nipple provides the structural strength needed for demanding plumbing and piping applications. The NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple during new construction, retrofits, or repair work on fluid and gas distribution systems.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial process piping where stainless steel is specified for its corrosion resistance. Schedule 40 construction makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure service in water, steam, and compatible fluid systems. It is sold as a single-piece unit and installs quickly into any standard NPT-threaded fitting or valve body without special tooling.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments
• Schedule 40 wall thickness supports moderate-pressure piping service
• NPT threads conform to standard American taper thread for broad fitting compatibility
• 5 inch length suits a range of close-nipple spacing applications
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 40 NPT-threaded stainless steel piping systems. Compatible with standard NPT threaded fittings, couplings, valves, and pipe flanges.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements depending on service type. Isolate and depressurize the affected piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply a compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free joint without over-threading.
