Merit Brass NIPBR112-512 Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 Inches X 5-1/2 Inches Mnpt Sch 40 Brass Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR112-512 is a seamless brass pipe nipple designed for reliable performance in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 1-1/2 inches in nominal diameter and 5-1/2 inches in length. It features male NPT threads on both ends, making it a standard close-coupling fitting used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a pipe run. The Schedule 40 standard wall thickness provides the strength and pressure rating needed for most commercial and residential applications. Manufactured domestically, this nipple meets strict quality standards expected by professional plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians. Brass is the material of choice for many trade professionals because it offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability under pressure, and compatibility with a wide range of fluids including water, gas, and steam. Brass fittings also resist dezincification better than many lower-grade alloys, which makes them a preferred option in water distribution and heating systems. The seamless construction of this nipple means there are no weld seams that could weaken the fitting under pressure or temperature changes. This reduces the risk of leaks and extends the service life of the connection. The MNPT thread pattern is the industry standard for tapered pipe threads in North America, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of valves, couplings, tees, and elbows. Whether you are building a new system or replacing a worn fitting, the Merit Brass NIPBR112-512 delivers consistent fit and long-lasting performance. It is well suited for hot and cold water lines, hydronic heating systems, compressed air, and light gas applications. Keep this nipple on hand for service calls and new installations where quality brass fittings are required.
