Brass Craft Service Parts 165190 Chrome Nipple 3/8 X 4 in

Product Description

The BRASS CRAFT SERVICE PARTS 165190 is a chrome-plated nipple fitting designed for male iron pipe (MIP) connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple provides a rigid, corrosion-resistant connection between threaded pipe fittings. The chrome finish makes it well suited for exposed installations where appearance matters. Each package contains 2 nipples and is lead compliant, meeting requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of fitting in water supply lines, fixture risers, and similar threaded piping assemblies.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing where 3/8 inch male iron pipe threaded connections are required. Typical applications include connecting shut-off valves, supply lines, or threaded fittings in exposed locations such as under sinks or in utility areas where a chrome finish is preferred over bare steel or brass. The 4-inch length suits close-quarter installations where a short, rigid extension is needed between two threaded components.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch Male Iron Pipe (MIP) thread on both ends for standard threaded connections
• 4-inch overall length suits tight-space installations
• Chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in exposed locations
• Lead compliant construction suitable for potable water systems
• Comes in a 2-pack for added value on multi-point installations or service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting compatible with standard 3/8 inch male iron pipe threaded plumbing assemblies in residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the MIP threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
