Anderson Metals Corp 38300-1235 Red Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 38300-1235 is a red brass pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch in diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Red brass alloy provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard yellow brass, making this nipple well suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution systems. The part is lead free compliant, meeting California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation requirements. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting to extend or connect threaded pipe runs in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is used in threaded pipe assemblies wherever a short close-to-standard length extension is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, boiler piping, radiant heating manifolds, and low-pressure steam systems. The 3/4 inch thread size is one of the most common sizes in residential and commercial plumbing, fitting standard NPT-threaded valves, fittings, and equipment connections. Sold in bulk pack quantities of 5 units per package.
