Anderson Metals Corp 736113-0632 Yellow Brass Nipple

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 736113-0632 is a yellow brass close nipple fitting designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and gas distribution systems. It features a 3/8 inch male pipe thread on one end and a 1/8 inch male pipe thread on the other, making it a reducing nipple for transitioning between two different pipe sizes. This fitting is lead free compliant and meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, which governs lead content in potable water fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial piping systems where a short, threaded male-to-male connection is required between dissimilar pipe sizes.

This reducing nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, gas lines, and general plumbing applications where a 3/8 inch to 1/8 inch male pipe thread transition is needed. Its yellow brass construction provides corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments. The lead free designation makes it appropriate for use in systems that carry potable water, in compliance with applicable plumbing codes. It is sold in packages of 5 units, which suits service van stocking and small-job material needs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Tighten to snug plus the appropriate number of turns per the fitting manufacturer and applicable code requirements under IPC or IFGC, but do not over-tighten brass fittings as this can cause thread damage or cracking.
