Anderson Metals Corp 38300-0625 Red Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 38300-0625 is a red brass pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length. Red brass is a copper-zinc-tin alloy known for its corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. This nipple is lead free compliant, meeting California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation requirements, making it suitable for potable water systems where lead-free materials are mandated. It is a standard threaded fitting used by plumbers and pipefitters to extend or connect pipe runs in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This nipple is used in water supply, distribution, and general plumbing applications where a short threaded male fitting is needed to join two female-threaded components. Its red brass construction makes it a reliable choice for hot and cold water lines, as well as other non-corrosive fluid service applications. It ships in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units, making it a practical choice for service trucks and job-site supply.
