A close nipple is fully threaded end-to-end, making it the shortest possible nipple for joining two female-threaded fittings with minimal gap. At 2.5 inches in size, this fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where space between connections is limited. Machined from brass with a red finish, it carries a lead-free designation for use in potable water systems where compliance with lead-free standards is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis close nipple is used in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its fully threaded profile makes it appropriate wherever two threaded fittings must be joined back-to-back without any exposed center pipe. Typical applications include connecting valves, unions, tees, and elbows in tight spaces. The lead-free construction makes it suitable for potable water service in jurisdictions that require compliance with applicable plumbing codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free brass construction meets potable water service requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClose nipple design is fully threaded end-to-end for minimal installation length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch nominal size suits a wide range of residential and commercial plumbing connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed finish for easy visual identification on the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded fitting type for use with standard NPT female-threaded components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2.5-inch NPT female-threaded plumbing components and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).
