Jones Stephens n16936lf Chrome Plated Brass Pipe Nipple

Product Description

The JONES STEPHENS n16936lf is a chrome plated brass pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 36 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. This nipple is manufactured from brass and finished with chrome plating, giving it both corrosion resistance and a clean appearance suitable for exposed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of fitting in water supply and distribution systems where a durable, aesthetically acceptable threaded connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 1/2 inch threaded connection is needed over an extended 36 inch run. Typical installations include water supply lines, fixture connections, and service extensions where a longer nipple eliminates the need for additional fittings. The chrome finish makes it appropriate for visible installations such as under-sink supply runs or exposed wall-mounted piping where appearance matters alongside function.

Key Features

• Chrome plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance for exposed plumbing installations
• Brass construction offers durability and compatibility with potable water systems
• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading for broad fitting compatibility
• 36 inch length reduces the need for additional couplings in longer runs
• Lead-free designation indicated by the LF suffix, supporting compliance with potable water requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/2 inch threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial water supply applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than steel and threads can be damaged.
