Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR1-12 is a 1-inch by 12-inch brass pipe nipple built for demanding plumbing and mechanical applications. It features NPT (National Pipe Taper) threading on both ends, allowing it to create a tight, leak-resistant seal when connected to standard fittings, valves, and pipe systems. The nipple is rated SCH 40 and Standard weight, meaning the wall thickness meets widely accepted pressure and flow requirements for commercial and industrial piping systems. It is manufactured from seamless brass, which eliminates weld seams and reduces the risk of weak points along the body of the fitting.

Brass is well known in the trades for its corrosion resistance, machinability, and long service life. It performs reliably in both hot and cold water systems, making it a go-to material for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors. The 12-inch length gives technicians enough working distance to bridge gaps between components, route around obstacles, or extend piping runs without adding extra couplings. The 1-inch nominal diameter is one of the most common sizes used in commercial plumbing distribution lines, boiler systems, and process piping. This nipple is domestically produced, which is important for projects with Buy American requirements or where documentation of origin is needed. Plumbing professionals working on new construction, renovation, or maintenance will find this fitting meets standard schedule requirements and fits into existing NPT-threaded systems without modification.
