Value Collection SS-THN-MN4-MN2 316 Ss Hex Nipple Mnpt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-THN-MN4-MN2 is a 316 stainless steel hex nipple designed for high-pressure pipe connections in demanding fluid and gas systems. It features a 1/4-inch male NPT end and a 1/8-inch male NPT end, making it suitable for reducing connections between two threaded pipe runs. With a pressure rating of 7,500 psi, this fitting is built for systems where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical. The hex body allows standard wrench engagement for secure, leak-free installation. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This hex nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, chemical processing, and industrial fluid systems where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The 316 material grade provides superior resistance to chlorides and other corrosive media compared to 304 stainless, making it a preferred choice for marine, coastal, and chemical environments. Both ends accept standard NPT threaded connections per ASME/ANSI B1.20.1.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and chloride-rich environments
• 7,500 psi pressure rating suitable for high-pressure fluid and gas applications
• Dual MNPT ends — 1/4-inch and 1/8-inch — for reducing threaded connections
• Hex body profile allows full wrench engagement during installation
• Compliant with ANSI B 31.1 Power Piping and Refiner Piping Code ASME/ANSI standards
• Compact 1.22-inch length fits in tight pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in any system requiring a 1/4-inch to 1/8-inch MNPT reducing nipple with 316 stainless steel construction and NPT threading per ASME/ANSI B1.20.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable piping codes including ANSI B 31.1. Depressurize and isolate the pipe system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing this nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque; use wrench engagement on the hex body only to avoid damaging adjacent fittings or pipe runs.
