It measures 36 inches overall length (OAL) with a 3\/4 inch NPT thread standard and a 3\/4 inch outside diameter. Constructed from red brass, this nipple resists corrosion and handles the demands of water, low-pressure gas, and steam applications. At 3.3 pounds, it is a solid, full-length fitting suitable for spanning longer distances between fittings or equipment connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, HVAC hydronic piping, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid distribution. The 36-inch length makes it appropriate for rough-in work, riser applications, or any installation where a close nipple or short nipple is insufficient. Its 3\/4 inch NPT threading mates with standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports common across plumbing and HVAC equipment. Red brass construction makes it a preferred choice over steel or black iron where corrosion resistance and potable water compatibility are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, steam, and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 inch overall length for longer span connections without additional couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch NPT threads on both ends for compatibility with standard NPT fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch outside diameter consistent with standard 3\/4 inch IPS pipe sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 3.3 pounds — suitable for supported runs in vertical or horizontal piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for any system using standard 3\/4 inch NPT threaded connections, including plumbing, HVAC hydronic, compressed air, and low-pressure gas piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading or removing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as red brass is softer than steel and subject to thread damage under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2012-3600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538673664306,"sku":"2012-3600","price":177.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/919a8c936871f3129ecd5bde8559d5b2_22741646-79b8-40b3-87e1-e0d0123a2acb.jpg?v=1785825512","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2012-3600-brass-pipe-nipple-3-4-npt-36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
