Anderson Metals Corp 736112-12 Brass Close Nipple 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 736112-12 is a 3/4-inch close nipple machined from yellow brass and sold in a bulk pack of 5 pieces. A close nipple is threaded along its entire length with no unthreaded center section, making it the correct choice when two fittings must sit as close together as possible. This nipple is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it suitable for potable water installations where low-lead materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters stock close nipples in multiple sizes for retrofit and new construction work on water supply, distribution, and general fluid service lines.

This close nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a threaded pipe connection requires minimal extension. Common applications include connecting valves, unions, tee fittings, and other threaded components in tight spaces inside walls, utility chases, or mechanical rooms. The 3/4-inch thread size is one of the most common in domestic water supply piping, making this nipple a standard stocking item for service plumbers, contractors, and maintenance technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable plumbing code, such as the IPC or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe components. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten brass nipples, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
