Threaded on both ends with a 3\/4-inch NPT standard thread, this nipple measures 2-1\/2 inches overall length with a 3\/4-inch outside diameter. Constructed from red brass, it offers solid corrosion resistance in water supply, compressed air, and general fluid handling applications. The chrome plating adds a finished appearance suitable for exposed installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting in both commercial and residential settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential plumbing rough-in and finish work, light commercial piping runs, and industrial fluid systems where a close or short nipple is required. The 3\/4-inch NPT threading is a widely used pipe standard, making this fitting compatible with a broad range of valves, couplings, tees, and elbows. The chrome finish makes it appropriate for visible plumbing applications such as under-sink supply lines, fixture connections, and exposed mechanical room piping where aesthetics matter alongside function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with 3\/4-inch NPT standard thread for leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch overall length suits close-quarter piping configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome plating suitable for exposed or visible installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code: 40173300 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/4-inch NPT threaded pipe nipple for use with compatible brass or iron fittings, valves, and couplings in residential and commercial plumbing systems.\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 removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than iron and can be damaged by 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\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 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 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: 0.216 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: 3012-250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541424832818,"sku":"3012-250","price":27.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_809a58fa-33d0-4b1a-ab06-3291c2e7e385.jpg?v=1785875737","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3012-250-brass-pipe-nipple-3-4-npt-2-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
