Eaton 3330X8 Long Nipple 1/2 Inch Mnptf Brass 1200 Psi

Product Description

The EATON 3330X8 is a brass long nipple pipe fitting designed for threaded piping assemblies in industrial and commercial fluid systems. It features a 1/2 inch male MNPTF thread on both ends and carries a maximum working pressure of 1,200 psi, making it suitable for demanding pressurized service. The overall length is 3 inches. Constructed from brass, this fitting resists corrosion in a wide range of fluid media. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians wherever a longer than standard nipple is needed to bridge gaps between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.

This long nipple is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems carrying water, air, oil, or compatible fluids. It is a common solution when standard close or short nipples do not provide adequate thread engagement or clearance in tight plumbing configurations. Typical applications include connecting valves, couplings, and tees in pressurized pipe runs where a 3 inch threaded extension is required.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance across a broad range of compatible fluids
• 1/2 inch MNPTF male thread on both ends for secure tapered thread connections
• Maximum working pressure of 1,200 psi
• Operating temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 3 inch overall length suits applications requiring extended nipple reach
• Sold individually (package quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard MNPTF long nipple replacement for use with any 1/2 inch female NPT threaded fittings, valves, or pipe connections requiring a tapered male thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or relevant local piping standards. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
