It measures 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.25-inch outside diameter, making it a compact fitting used to connect or extend threaded pipe runs in tight spaces. The lead-free construction meets current potable water regulations, making it appropriate for both water supply and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in commercial and residential systems alike where a short, double-threaded connector is required between two female-threaded fittings or valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 0.25-inch NPT threaded connection is required. Typical uses include connecting pressure gauges, valves, tees, and other fittings in water supply lines, compressed air systems, and low-pressure fluid systems. Its compact 2.5-inch overall length makes it practical in panel installations, manifold assemblies, and anywhere space between fittings is limited. The NPT thread form provides a tapered, pressure-rated seal when used with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with NPT taper threads for a standard pressure-rated connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free red brass construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5-inch overall length fits tight installation spaces between fittings or valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.25-inch outside diameter suits small-bore plumbing and instrumentation lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed brass alloy offers good corrosion resistance in water and mild fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for any system using 0.25-inch NPT threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, or compressed air applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of threaded brass pipe nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply PTFE tape or a listed pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before bringing to final torque with a pipe wrench. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings, particularly at smaller diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Coverage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 736113-0440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710978818354,"sku":"736113-0440","price":16.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9cb4abdb99521d75c037a1d49151091_6aaaee94-e86f-4922-a9d0-b3545d6ed459.jpg?v=1788473098","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-736113-0440-brass-pipe-nipple-1-4-in-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
