Georg Fischer 861-083 Nipple 1/2 Inch X 5 Inch

Product Description

The GEORG FISCHER 861-083 is a threaded pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of pipe with external threads on both ends, used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple is a standard fitting used in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping assemblies where a reliable, rigid threaded connection is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically handle installation in commercial and residential systems alike.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping applications where a 1/2 inch threaded connection is specified. It fits into common piping configurations where two female-threaded components need to be joined with a fixed-length male-threaded section. Its 5 inch body length provides clearance for installations where a close nipple or hex nipple would be too short.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with male NPT threads on both ends
• 5 inch overall body length suits applications requiring standoff between fittings
• Standard threaded nipple design compatible with common pipe fittings and valves
• Rigid construction for use in pressurized piping assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/2 inch NPT piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
