Anderson Metals Corp 38300-0635 Red Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 38300-0635 is a red brass pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Red brass offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard yellow brass, making this nipple well suited for water supply, plumbing distribution, and light industrial piping applications. The fitting is lead free compliant, meeting the requirements of California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple to extend or connect threaded pipe runs where corrosion resistance and code compliance are required.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, particularly in potable water lines where lead free materials are mandated by state or local code. Typical applications include connecting valves, fittings, and fixtures in water distribution piping. Its compact 3-1/2 inch length suits close-quarters installations where a longer nipple would be impractical. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 pieces per unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as red brass fittings can be damaged by excessive force.
