Anderson Metals -11153-1 Brass Pipe Nipple 2in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS -11153-1 is a short brass pipe nipple designed for connecting threaded pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Machined from red brass, this nipple is threaded on both ends to NPT standard, with an overall length of 2 inches. The red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in water service applications. Plumbers and pipefitters use close and short nipples like this one to extend or transition pipe runs where space is limited. The NPT threads allow direct connection to standard fittings, valves, and pipe without adapters.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, and general-purpose piping where NPT-threaded brass fittings are specified. The 2-inch overall length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations or as a stub-out connector between two fittings. It is a common component in water supply lines, steam service, and low-pressure gas piping where brass is an approved material under applicable codes.

Key Features

• Red brass construction offers corrosion resistance in potable water and HVAC wet systems
• NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard North American threaded fittings
• 2-inch overall length suits close-coupled and tight-clearance piping configurations
• Sold in packages of 2, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded brass pipe nipple for use with compatible NPT fittings, valves, and pipe in typical plumbing and HVAC piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than iron and can crack under excessive torque.
