Anderson Metals Corp 38300-1635 Red Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 38300-1635 is a red brass pipe nipple sized at 1 inch nominal diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length. Red brass offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard yellow brass, making it a reliable choice for water supply, plumbing distribution, and light commercial piping applications. This nipple is lead free compliant, meeting the requirements of California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when connecting threaded pipe runs, extending pipe lengths, or making close nipple connections in potable water and hydronic systems. Sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

This red brass nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where lead free fittings are required by code. Typical applications include water supply lines, fixture connections, manifold assemblies, and any threaded pipe system requiring a short extension or riser. The lead free designation makes it appropriate for potable water service in jurisdictions that enforce AB-1953 or SB-152 compliance standards. Its threaded ends accept standard NPT fittings, valves, and couplings used in everyday plumbing work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and hand-tighten before completing with a pipe wrench. Do not over-tighten threaded brass fittings, as this can crack or distort the fitting body.
