Constructed from red brass with a chrome finish, it measures 8 inches overall length (OAL) with 3\/4 inch NPT threads on both ends and a 3\/4 inch outside diameter. The full-thread configuration on both ends allows direct connection to fittings, valves, couplings, and other threaded components. This nipple meets OSHA standards and is well suited for applications where corrosion resistance and a finished appearance are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas, and hydronic piping systems where a short, rigid threaded connection is needed. It is a standard choice for connecting valves, gauges, or fixtures to supply lines and branch piping. The chrome plating makes it appropriate for exposed installations where aesthetics matter, such as under-sink or above-floor plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in most jurisdictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 inches overall length with full NPT threads on both ends for maximum engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and valves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in water and low-pressure gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome finish suitable for exposed plumbing installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch outside diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for 3\/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications.\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 IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply or isolate the relevant piping section before installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before making up the joint — do not overtighten, as brass threads can gall or crack under excessive torque. Verify system pressure rating is within the nipple and fitting assembly limits before returning the system to service.\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\u003eThread Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\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: 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.77 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\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: 3012-800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542910927154,"sku":"3012-800","price":67.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a85bc426db5a712a1f6e23b8c149f4ea_b7d84558-f617-40b6-b238-6df155b6ab72.jpg?v=1785910673","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-3012-800-brass-pipe-nipple-3-4-npt-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
