Anderson Metals -10836-7 Brass Pipe Nipple 5 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -10836-7 is a red brass pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and related piping systems. It is threaded on both ends using NPT (National Pipe Taper) thread, allowing it to connect two female-threaded fittings or valves in a straight run. The overall length is 5 inches. Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water service applications, making it suitable for both hot and cold supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in commercial and residential systems.

This nipple is used wherever a short threaded extension is needed between pipe fittings, valves, gauges, or equipment connections. Typical applications include potable water distribution, hydronic heating loops, gas-rated piping assemblies where brass is permitted, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its 5-inch length makes it useful for close-clearance installations where a longer nipple would not fit but a close nipple is too short. Sold in a package quantity of 2.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-torquing the fitting. Verify local code requirements under the IPC or applicable state plumbing code for approved materials in the intended service.
