Anderson Metals 736113-0424 Brass Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 736113-0424 is a close-pattern brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for connecting pipe sections in water supply, gas, and general plumbing systems. Machined from lead-free red brass, it meets current lead-free requirements for potable water applications. The nipple measures 1-1/2 inches overall length and carries NPT threads on both ends for a standard tapered thread connection. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a short, fully threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Its compact length makes it practical for tight-clearance installations.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing applications including water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general fluid handling systems. It is appropriate wherever a 1/4-inch NPT close nipple is required at a threaded fitting transition. The lead-free red brass construction makes it compliant for use in potable water systems in jurisdictions enforcing low-lead standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC standards. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as over-torquing can crack the fitting body.
