Eaton 3328X8 Brass Long Nipple 1/2 Inch Mnptf 1200 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 3328X8 is a brass long nipple fitting designed for industrial and commercial pipe assemblies. It provides a threaded male-to-male connection for joining pipe sections, extending runs, or connecting to valves, fittings, and equipment ports. The 3328X8 carries a 1/2 inch MNPTF thread on both ends and is rated for up to 1,200 psi working pressure across a wide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Brass construction offers reliable corrosion resistance in water, air, and many fluid-handling applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use this type of nipple during new installation and maintenance work on pressurized systems.

This long nipple is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, pneumatic lines, and general industrial fluid-handling systems. The 2 inch overall length provides clearance for wrench engagement and is appropriate where a close or hex nipple would not leave adequate working room. The 1/2 inch MNPTF thread matches standard NPT female fittings and valves common in North American trade applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting compatible with 1/2 inch female NPT ports and fittings on pressurized plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, following the fitting manufacturer and applicable IPC or IFGC guidance. Use a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench on the hex body to avoid overtightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
