Value Collection SS-THN-MN4-MG4 Hex Nipple 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-THN-MN4-MG4 is a 1/4 inch 316 stainless steel hex nipple designed for high-pressure pipe connections in demanding industrial and commercial applications. Featuring male NPT (MNPT) on one end and male BSPP (MBSPP) on the other, this fitting bridges common American and metric-compatible thread standards in a single compact component. Rated to 7,500 psi, it handles the pressure requirements found in process piping, instrumentation lines, and refinery systems. At 1.45 inches in length and weighing 0.25 pounds, the fitting is machined from 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or marine environments.

This hex nipple is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems where dissimilar thread types must be joined without adapters. Typical installations include process fluid lines, compressed gas runs, and instrumentation connections where both NPT and BSPP fittings appear in the same assembly. The hex profile allows a wrench to seat the fitting securely without pipe-wrench marring, making it practical in tight or sensitive installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters handle this fitting type in applications governed by ANSI B 31.1 power piping and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 thread standards.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion, chlorides, and chemical exposure
• 7,500 psi pressure rating supports high-pressure process and instrumentation piping
• MNPT x MBSPP end connections bridge NPT and BSPP threaded systems in one fitting
• Hex body profile allows standard wrench engagement without damaging the fitting surface
• Meets ANSI B 31.1, Refiner Piping Code ASME/ANSI, and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) thread standards
• Compact 1.45 inch length minimizes assembly footprint in crowded pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement hex nipple for 1/4 inch threaded pipe systems requiring MNPT x MBSPP end connections in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable ANSI and ASME piping codes. Shut down and fully depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure before threading the fitting into place. Do not over-torque; bring the fitting to hand-tight and then use a wrench on the hex body to achieve a proper seal without stressing the pipe threads.
