It measures 12 inches overall length (OAL) with 3\/4 inch NPT threads on both ends, allowing direct connection between fittings, valves, or pipe sections without additional adapters. The red brass construction provides strong resistance to corrosion in both water and mildly aggressive fluid applications. The chrome-plated finish adds an additional layer of surface protection and gives a clean appearance where exposed piping is visible. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as part of roughed-in or exposed pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where 3\/4 inch iron pipe size (IPS) threaded connections are required. Typical applications include supply line extensions, fixture connections, valve assemblies, and exposed decorative or utility piping where a chrome finish is specified. The full NPT threading on both ends makes it compatible with standard 3\/4 inch threaded pipe fittings, couplings, and valves. It meets OSHA standards applicable to its use in occupational and worksite plumbing installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with 3\/4 inch NPT for direct connection to standard fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 inch overall length suits extension and offset applications in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction resists corrosion in potable water and fluid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish provides surface protection and clean visual appearance in exposed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards for worksite plumbing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 3\/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems using red brass or chrome-plated brass fittings in residential and commercial plumbing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for use with brass fittings to all NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack brass fittings or damage thread integrity.\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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\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\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\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: 1.17 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: 3012-1200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541971861810,"sku":"3012-1200","price":88.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_9831aad7-48fe-48c4-9270-d5f34bda81ff.jpg?v=1785888704","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3012-1200-brass-pipe-nipple-3-4-npt-12-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
