Anderson Metals Corp 756122-12 Brass Hex Nipple 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 756122-12 is a 3/4-inch brass hex nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. The hex body profile allows a wrench to seat cleanly for torque-controlled assembly without marring adjacent fittings. Constructed from lead-free brass in compliance with Public Law 111-380, this nipple meets the requirements for potable water installations where lead-free materials are mandated. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters stock these fittings for new construction, remodel work, and repair applications where a short threaded connector is needed between two female-threaded ports.

This hex nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, gas distribution lines, and hydronic heating piping where a compact, wrenching-friendly connector is required. The 3/4-inch size is a common nominal pipe thread dimension found throughout supply lines, manifolds, valves, and mechanical room piping. It ships in bulk packaging, making it a practical stocking item for service vans and supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench on the hex flats to achieve a leak-free connection without over-stressing the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or replacing any threaded fitting in an active system.
