Merit Brass NIPBR1-CLO Pipe Nipple 1 Inch Close Length Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Std Seamless Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR1-CLO is a 1 inch nominal close length pipe nipple made from solid brass and threaded with male NPT (MNPT) connections on both ends. This fitting is designed for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who need a reliable, compact connector between two female-threaded fittings where space is tight. A close nipple has threads that run the full length of the fitting, leaving little to no unthreaded center section. This makes it ideal for situations where you need to join two fittings directly together with minimal gap or standoff distance. The NIPBR1-CLO is manufactured to Schedule 40 and Standard (STD) wall thickness specifications, making it compatible with standard pressure and flow requirements found in residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing systems. Brass is a preferred material in plumbing applications because it resists corrosion, handles moderate heat and pressure, and forms reliable threaded seals when used with proper thread sealant or PTFE tape. The seamless construction of this nipple means there are no weld seams or joints along the body, which contributes to consistent wall thickness and improved pressure integrity. Merit Brass is known for producing domestically manufactured brass fittings that meet or exceed industry standards for dimensional accuracy and material quality. Domestic production ensures traceability and compliance with applicable codes and standards. This close nipple is suitable for use in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, heating systems, and other applications where brass MNPT fittings are specified. Plumbers and HVAC technicians will find this fitting useful for connecting valves, gauges, traps, and other components in tight spaces where a longer nipple would not fit. The 1 inch nominal thread size is a common size used throughout commercial and residential plumbing infrastructure.
