Anderson Metals -11099-14 Brass Pipe Nipple 6 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -11099-14 is a red brass pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. The nipple measures 6 inches overall length (OAL) and is threaded on both ends with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads, making it a direct-connect fitting between two female-threaded ports or fittings. Red brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in water distribution and low-pressure fluid handling applications. This is a standard close-to-long nipple suited for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on supply lines, distribution headers, and similar piping configurations.

The -11099-14 is a general-purpose pipe nipple used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution lines, compressed air branch lines, and HVAC water-side piping. Its NPT threading is compatible with standard female NPT fittings, valves, and couplings. Red brass is appropriate for potable water service and corrosive fluid environments where dezincification resistance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters typically use this nipple when extending or connecting pipe runs at fixed 6-inch spacings.

Key Features

• 6-inch overall length for fixed-length pipe extensions and connections
• Threaded on both ends with NPT taper threads for leak-resistant mechanical joints
• Red brass material resists dezincification and corrosion in water service
• Suitable for potable water, hydronic, and low-pressure fluid applications
• Standard NPT threading mates with widely available valves, couplings, and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with female NPT threaded ports and fittings in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
