Anderson Metals -11152-6 Brass Pipe Nipple 2in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -11152-6 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in low-pressure plumbing and fluid-handling assemblies. With an overall length of 2 inches and NPT threads on each end, this nipple provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. Red brass construction offers solid corrosion resistance in water service applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple when a short, fully threaded coupling is needed between two female-threaded ports or fittings.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including water supply lines, heating systems, and general fluid distribution. The NPT thread pattern is the standard in North American pipe work, making this nipple broadly compatible with common pipe fittings and valves. Its compact 2-inch overall length fills tight clearance requirements where a longer nipple would not fit. Each package contains 5 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as excessive force can crack brass fittings or distort thread engagement.
