Construction Details
The fitting features a durable brass body with a chrome plated exterior finish and male threaded connections for installation between compatible female-threaded components.
The chrome plating provides a smooth finished appearance and helps protect the exterior surface in compatible service environments.
Its compact nipple configuration makes it useful for close-coupled installations involving valves, gauges, instruments, manifolds, adapters, regulators, and equipment connections.
Connection Configuration
Male Thread - End 1
The first male threaded end installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, manifold, instrument, adapter, or equipment port.
Male Thread - End 2
The opposite male threaded end provides the second connection point for another compatible female-threaded component.
How a Brass Nipple Works
A threaded nipple provides a short connection between two compatible female-threaded components.
Each male threaded end installs into a mating female connection, creating a compact in-line transition between fittings, valves, instruments, regulators, manifolds, or other equipment.
Use an appropriate thread-sealing method for the fitting material, transferred media, and intended application.

| Mating Connections | Verify both mating components have compatible female threads. |
| Material | Confirm brass is compatible with the piping system and transferred media. |
| Finish | Confirm a chrome plated finish is appropriate for the installation. |
| Operating Conditions | Verify pressure, temperature, and media requirements for the complete assembly. |
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both mating connections are compatible with the 1/4" nipple size.
- Inspect all threads for damage or contamination before installation.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for brass fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the nipple or mating components.
- Verify brass, pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility before use.
