Value Collection 6CU-CFF3/8 3/8 in Pipe Union 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6CU-CFF3/8 is a 3/8-inch threaded pipe union constructed from 316 stainless steel. It connects two sections of pipe with a female NPT inlet and a female NPT outlet, allowing the line to be broken and reassembled without disturbing adjacent fittings. Rated to 150 psi, this union is suited for plumbing, process piping, and fluid-handling systems where corrosion resistance is a priority. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both commercial and industrial applications where the 316 alloy provides improved resistance to chlorides and harsh media compared to standard 304 stainless.

This union is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, chemical process lines, and marine or coastal installations where moisture and salt exposure demand a higher-grade stainless alloy. The 3/8-inch FNPT x FNPT configuration fits standard NPT-threaded pipe and pairs with common fittings, valves, and risers found in water supply, compressed air, and mild chemical service lines. It is also a practical service fitting wherever future disassembly is anticipated.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemically aggressive environments
• 3/8-inch FNPT x FNPT end connections for straightforward integration with standard NPT pipe and fittings
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for water supply, compressed air, and light fluid-process service
• Threaded union design allows line break and reconnection without cutting pipe
• Compact form factor fits tight installation spaces common in residential and commercial mechanical rooms

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded union for 3/8-inch NPT piping systems in plumbing and light industrial fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any union fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench turns per fitting manufacturer guidance without over-torquing stainless fittings, which can gall. Confirm the line is leak-free under system pressure before returning to service.
