Value Collection 6CU-CFF1/4 Pipe Union 1/4 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6CU-CFF1/4 is a 1/4-inch threaded pipe union constructed from 316 stainless steel. It connects two sections of pipe with female NPT threads on both ends, allowing the line to be broken and rejoined without disturbing the surrounding piping. Rated to 150 psi, it is suited for plumbing, light industrial, and fluid-handling applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when a removable coupling point is required in a stainless-steel piping system.

This union is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing installations as well as light industrial fluid-handling systems where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance against chlorides, mild acids, or other corrosive media. The FNPT x FNPT configuration accepts standard tapered pipe threads on both sides, making it compatible with common pipe and valve assemblies in 1/4-inch line sizes.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation
• FNPT x FNPT end connections accept standard tapered pipe threads on both sides
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for low-to-medium pressure fluid-handling lines
• 1/4-inch fitting size fits common small-diameter pipe runs
• Threaded union design allows the line to be disconnected and reassembled without cutting pipe

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch FNPT threaded pipe union for use in stainless steel piping systems requiring a removable coupling point at low-to-medium operating pressures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing the union. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all tapered threads before makeup. Do not overtighten threaded stainless steel fittings, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless connections.
