Anderson Metals Corp 38300-1660 Red Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 38300-1660 is a red brass pipe nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. Red brass alloy delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard yellow brass, making this nipple well suited for water distribution, plumbing supply lines, and other fluid-handling applications where long service life matters. The fitting is lead free compliant and meets California AB-1953 and Vermont SB-152 legislation requirements, clearing it for use in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple to connect threaded pipe sections, valves, and fittings in both new construction and retrofit work.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a short close-to-standard threaded extension is needed between fittings or at equipment connections. Typical applications include water supply risers, boiler trim piping, water heater connections, and valve manifold assemblies. The 1-inch diameter suits higher-flow branch lines and main distribution runs commonly found in multi-fixture residential and small commercial systems. Sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 5 units per pack.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, as red brass can be damaged by excessive force.
