Pipe nipples are short sections of threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple is a standard close-coupled connector suited for use in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install these components as part of water supply, steam, or process piping systems where a rigid, threaded connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems where a 0.5-inch NPT threaded connection is needed to extend or bridge pipe runs. It fits into standard threaded fittings, valves, and union assemblies. The 12-inch length makes it suitable for applications requiring a modest standoff distance between two threaded connection points, such as drop nipples, riser extensions, or valve-to-pipe transitions in tight mechanical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 0.5-inch diameter with 12-inch body length for extended threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded ends allow direct connection to NPT-compatible fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid pipe nipple construction maintains alignment in fixed piping assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock pipe nipple for use with 0.5-inch NPT threaded fittings and valves in plumbing and mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before removing or installing threaded pipe components. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads prior to assembly, and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEORG FISCHER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 861-088\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEORG FISCHER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467593875762,"sku":"861-088","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946895.jpg?v=1783907389","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/georg-fischer-861-088-nipple-0-5-x-12-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
