Anderson Metals -11152-14 Brass Pipe Nipple 6 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -11152-14 is a red brass pipe nipple with external NPT threads on both ends. It provides a leak-resistant threaded connection between pipe fittings in plumbing, gas, steam, and hydronic systems. At 6 inches overall length, this close-pattern nipple is sized for standard inline connections where a short, rigid male-threaded extension is needed. Red brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in both hot and cold water service, making it suitable for potable water, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems wherever a 6-inch male-to-male threaded extension is required. Common install scenarios include connecting valves, unions, couplings, and other threaded fittings in copper or brass pipe assemblies. The NPT thread form provides a tapered, pressure-bearing seal when used with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling or installing threaded fittings. Apply PTFE tape or a listed pipe thread compound to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as red brass nipples can crack if excessive torque is applied with pipe wrenches.
