Anderson Metals Corp 756122-04 Brass Hex Nipple 1/4 in

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756122-04 is a 1/4 inch brass hex nipple designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This short, externally threaded fitting connects two female-threaded fittings or valves in line, allowing for close-coupled joints in tight spaces. Constructed from lead-free brass, it meets the requirements of Public Law 111-380, making it compliant for use in potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of water supply, gas distribution, and general fluid-handling assemblies where a compact threaded connector is required.

This hex nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications including water supply lines, gas piping, and compressed air systems. The hex profile allows a wrench to engage the fitting directly during installation, useful in close-quarters work where standard pipe wrenches cannot reach the thread ends. It is sold in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for service contractors stocking common fittings.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the intended service (water, gas, or air) before threading the nipple into place. Use a wrench on the hex body to tighten the fitting — do not grip the threads directly.
