Construction Details
The nipple is manufactured from brass and features male pipe threads on both ends for installation between compatible female-threaded components.
A chrome plated exterior provides a smooth finished appearance while adding surface protection to the underlying brass construction.
The straight nipple configuration provides a simple in-line connection and is available in multiple lengths to accommodate different installation and spacing requirements.
Connection Configuration
1/2" Male Thread - End 1
The first male threaded end installs into a compatible 1/2" female-threaded fitting, valve, manifold, instrument, adapter, or equipment port.
1/2" Male Thread - End 2
The opposite male threaded end provides the second connection point for another compatible 1/2" female-threaded component.
How a Brass Nipple Works
A threaded nipple provides a straight connection between two compatible female-threaded components.
Each 1/2" male threaded end installs into a mating female connection, allowing fittings, valves, instruments, regulators, manifolds, and other compatible equipment to be joined in-line.
Use an appropriate thread-sealing method for the fitting material, transferred media, and intended application.

Selecting the Correct Brass Nipple
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Connection Size | Confirm the application requires a 1/2" threaded nipple. |
| Nipple Length | Select the required nipple length for the spacing and installation requirements of the assembly. |
| Mating Connections | Verify both mating components have compatible 1/2" female threads. |
| Material & Finish | Confirm chrome plated brass is suitable for the piping system, media, and installation environment. |
| Operating Conditions | Verify pressure, temperature, and media requirements for the complete assembly. |
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both mating connections are compatible with the 1/2" nipple size.
- Select the appropriate nipple length for the installation.
- Inspect threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for the fitting material and intended media.
- Avoid overtightening and verify application compatibility before use.
Our plumbing, brass fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your 1/2" connection requirements, nipple length, thread compatibility, chrome plated brass material, and application before you order.
