Value Collection SS-THN-MN6-MG6 Hex Nipple 3/8 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-THN-MN6-MG6 is a 3/8 inch 316 stainless steel hex nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding fluid and gas systems. It features male NPT (MNPT) on one end and male BSPP (MBSPP) on the other, making it suitable for bridging NPT and BSPP threaded connections in a single fitting. Rated to 7,300 psi, this hex nipple meets ANSI B 31.1 and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) standards. The hex body allows for wrench engagement during installation and removal. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in high-pressure piping runs where corrosion resistance and thread-to-thread sealing are critical.

This hex nipple is suited for use in corrosive environments where 316 stainless steel is specified, including chemical processing, marine, food service, and refinery piping applications. The MNPT x MBSPP end configuration serves installations where a transition between American and British pipe thread standards is required. Its compact 1.48 inch length fits tight spaces in instrumentation, process lines, and utility piping where a standard nipple would not clear adjacent components. Compliance with ANSI B 31.1 Power Piping and the Refiner Piping Code makes it appropriate for regulated industrial installations.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and pitting in chloride and acidic environments
• 7,300 psi pressure rating supports high-pressure fluid and gas piping applications
• MNPT x MBSPP ends allow transition between NPT and BSPP threaded systems in one fitting
• Hex body profile enables secure wrench grip for proper torque during assembly
• Meets ANSI B 31.1 and ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 (1983) standards for threaded pipe fittings
• Compact 1.48 inch length suits tight installation spaces in process and utility piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded hex nipple replacement for 3/8 inch pipe systems requiring an MNPT to MBSPP transition in 316 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Isolate and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the fluid service and pressure before threading the fitting into place. Reference ASME/ANSI B1.20.1 for proper thread engagement requirements and follow applicable sections of ANSI B 31.1 or the local plumbing code governing the installation.
