Red brass is a high-copper alloy that resists dezincification and corrosion, making this nipple suitable for potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing service. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation requirements, qualifying it for use in potable water systems in states with strict lead content mandates. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple to connect threaded pipe or fittings at close intervals where a standard hex nipple will not fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Typical applications include water supply lines, boiler trim connections, pump manifolds, and irrigation headers where a short threaded connector is needed between two fittings or between a fitting and a valve. The 1\/2 inch NPT thread size is one of the most common in domestic plumbing, and the 1-1\/2 inch overall length makes it useful where space is limited. Sold in bulk packaging of 5 pieces per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass alloy construction resists dezincification and corrosion in water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead free compliant per California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPT x 1-1\/2 inch length for tight-clearance threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulk packaging of 5 pieces per package for service stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1\/2 inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications where lead free brass fittings are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading the nipple into place. Apply an approved thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-snug, taking care not to over-torque brass threads. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass (Lead Free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free Certification\u003c\/strong\u003e: California AB-1953, Vermont SB-152\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANDERSON METALS CORP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 38300-0815\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON METALS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559126237490,"sku":"38300-0815","price":29.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/18294b8f14420c0862b1091ebc173965_5682449b-2af0-4f53-9634-1be724c0aa82.jpg?v=1786428474","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/anderson-metals-corp-38300-0815-red-brass-nipple","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
