Anderson Metals -11099-12 Brass Pipe Nipple 5 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -11099-12 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, used to create short pipe extensions or connections in threaded piping systems. At 5 inches overall length with NPT threads on each end, it fits directly into standard NPT fittings without modification. Red brass construction provides good resistance to corrosion and dezincification, making it suitable for water, steam, and general-purpose piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple during rough-in, repair, and maintenance work on threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and general trade piping where a short threaded connector is required. The 5-inch OAL accommodates offsets and extensions between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. NPT threads ensure a standard taper fit that seals when used with appropriate thread sealant or tape. Sold in a package quantity of two.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Tighten fittings to snug plus the appropriate number of turns per standard trade practice; do not overtighten, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
