Anderson Metals Corp 38300-1240 Red Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 38300-1240 is a red brass pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length. Red brass alloy offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard yellow brass, making this nipple well-suited for potable water, plumbing, and fluid-handling applications where material integrity matters. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation, satisfying safe drinking water standards in states with the most stringent lead content regulations. Plumbers and pipefitters select this nipple for close or short-run threaded connections in residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing installations where a short threaded extension or transition between fittings is needed. Its lead free compliance makes it a suitable choice for potable water supply lines, fixtures, and other applications subject to California and Vermont safe drinking water statutes. The 3/4 inch size fits standard pipe runs commonly found in water distribution, irrigation manifolds, and mechanical room piping. Each unit is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 depressurize the line 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.
