Larsen Supply 17-9501 Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4 Mpt X 6 Inch

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 17-9501 is a brass pipe nipple with male pipe thread (MPT) on both ends, measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length. It is used to connect or extend pipe runs and fittings in plumbing systems. Rated at 150 LB pressure, this nipple meets lead-free standards, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters reach for this type of fitting when a short, threaded extension is needed between valves, fixtures, or pipe sections. The all-brass construction provides corrosion resistance in both water and gas service environments.

This nipple is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3/4 inch threaded connection is required. Common applications include water supply lines, boiler piping, gas distribution systems, and fixture rough-ins. It ships in a package quantity of six, making it practical for service vans or job-site stock. The carded retail packaging also makes it suitable for counter or display stocking at supply houses.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC codes depending on the service type. Shut off the water supply or gas source and depressurize the line before threading in the nipple. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with appropriate jaw protection to avoid damaging the brass threads.
