Anderson Metals Corp 38300-1260 Red Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4x6

Product Description

The Anderson Metals Corp 38300-1260 is a red brass pipe nipple sized at 3/4 inch diameter by 6 inches in length. Red brass offers higher copper content than standard yellow brass, delivering improved corrosion resistance in potable water, steam, and hydronic heating applications. This nipple is fully lead free compliant and meets California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation requirements, making it suitable for use in drinking water systems where lead-free certification is required by code. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as a close or extension connector between threaded pipe components in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This nipple is used in potable water supply lines, hot and cold distribution systems, steam systems, and hydronic heating loops where brass fittings are specified. The 3/4 inch thread size is one of the most common in residential and commercial rough-in work. Its 6-inch length makes it appropriate for short extension runs or offsets between valves, fixtures, and manifolds. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack, it is a practical stocking item for plumbing contractors and service technicians.
