Charman Manufacturing 350416 Brass Nipple 3/8 X 2 Inch Ips

Product Description

The CHARMAN MANUFACTURING 350416 is a brass nipple fitting sized at 3/8 inch x 2 inches in IPS (Iron Pipe Size) configuration. This short-run threaded nipple connects two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections in low- to medium-pressure plumbing and gas distribution systems. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and holds up to the demands of potable water, hydronic heating, and light gas service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system modifications, and repair work where a close or short nipple is required to make up a threaded joint.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where 3/8 inch IPS threaded connections are specified. Typical uses include supply line extensions, manifold hook-ups, boiler trim connections, and gas appliance rough-in work. The 2-inch body length provides enough thread engagement on both ends while keeping the overall assembly compact. It is also used in hydronic systems to connect valves, strainers, and gauges to distribution piping.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and gas service
• 3/8 inch IPS threading on both ends for standard pipe system compatibility
• 2-inch body length suits close-quarter connection applications
• Threaded both ends (TBE) for direct engagement with female-threaded fittings or valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping systems using standard 3/8 inch IPS threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service applies. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-stressing the fitting. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
