Description

Standard Brass Lead Free Pipe Nipples

Standard Brass Lead Free Pipe Nipples are manufactured from seamless Copper Alloy C230 red brass pipe for dependable threaded connections in plumbing, water, and general piping applications. The material consists of 85% copper and 15% zinc and provides excellent resistance to water, heat, and corrosion.

Each nipple is cut from mill lengths of seamless red brass pipe and machined at both ends to create the required threaded connections. NPT sizes are available from 1/8" through 6", with BSPT connections available from 1/8" through 1-1/4" by special request.

Construction Details

These pipe nipples are manufactured from seamless Copper Alloy C230 red brass pipe containing approximately 85% copper and 15% zinc.

Rather than being produced as a cast fitting, each nipple is cut from a mill length of red brass pipe and then machined at each end to produce the required threaded connections.

Red brass provides corrosion resistance to both water and heat, making these nipples well suited for compatible threaded piping applications.

Installation & Selection Guidance

Confirm both the nominal pipe diameter and required nipple length before ordering.
Verify the required thread standard before installation.
Standard NPT connections are available in diameters from 1/8" through 6".
For BSPT connections from 1/8" through 1-1/4", contact us for availability.
Do not interchange NPT and BSPT threads without confirming compatibility.
Use an appropriate thread sealant for the piping material, system media, pressure, and temperature.
Apply thread sealant according to the sealant manufacturer's instructions.
Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the nipple or mating fitting.
Confirm system pressure, temperature, and media compatibility before installation.
Installation should comply with applicable piping and plumbing requirements.
