Anderson Metals -10836-5 Brass Pipe Nipple 4 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -10836-5 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for low-pressure fluid and gas distribution systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. It features a standard NPT thread form on each end and measures 4 inches overall length (OAL). Red brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in potable water, steam, and hydronic systems, making it a practical choice for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial installations.

This nipple is suited for connecting threaded pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in water supply, drain, and hydronic heating systems. The NPT thread form ensures a tapered, pressure-tight connection when properly assembled with compatible fittings. Sold in a package quantity of two, it is appropriate for contractors and service technicians stocking commonly used close and short nipple sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements. Shut off and bleed system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not over-torque, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive force.
