Anderson Metals 736113-0624 Brass Pipe Nipple Npt 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 736113-0624 is a close-style brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends and manufactured from lead-free red brass. At 1.5 inches overall length (OAL), this nipple is designed for short-run pipe connections in potable water, gas, and general plumbing systems. The NPT threads on both ends allow direct mating with standard female NPT fittings, valves, and pipe connections. Lead-free construction meets current plumbing code requirements for use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a short, fully threaded connection is required. Typical applications include fixture supply lines, boiler trim connections, gas appliance manifold assemblies, and any system requiring a compact threaded coupling between two female-threaded ports. The 1.5-inch OAL makes it a close nipple suitable for tight-clearance installations where a longer nipple would not fit.

• 1.5-inch OAL provides a compact, close-nipple form factor for tight-clearance installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stocking fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using NPT-threaded pipe and fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making up the connection — do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the fitting to proper engagement; do not over-torque, as brass fittings are susceptible to cracking if overtightened.
