Anderson Metals Corp 756122-02 Brass Hex Nipple 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756122-02 is a 1/8-inch brass hex nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. The hex body provides wrench flats for secure installation and removal without pipe damage. Constructed from lead-free brass, this fitting meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. It is a standard close nipple profile with male NPT threads on both ends, suited for low-pressure water, gas, and air distribution lines commonly found in residential and light commercial plumbing installations.

This hex nipple is used wherever a short male-to-male threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, gauges, or equipment ports. The 1/8-inch thread size makes it a common choice for pressure gauge ports, pneumatic fittings, and small-bore water supply branches. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications. It ships in bulk quantity of 10 units per package, making it a practical stock item for service trucks and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with the applicable IPC or local plumbing code. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before make-up. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is subject to cracking under excessive torque.
