Merit Brass NIPBR112-CLO Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 Inches Close Length Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Std

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR112-CLO is a close-length brass pipe nipple with a 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size and male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends. This fitting is manufactured to Schedule 40 and standard wall thickness specifications, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of plumbing, industrial, and mechanical piping applications. A close nipple is one of the shortest nipple styles available, consisting almost entirely of threads with little or no unthreaded shank between the two ends. This design makes it ideal when two threaded fittings need to be connected as tightly as possible, with minimal spacing between them. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians frequently reach for close nipples when building compact piping assemblies, manifold systems, or tight-space installations where a longer nipple would not fit. The NIPBR112-CLO is constructed from domestic brass, a material widely chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance, machinability, and long service life. Brass performs well in water supply lines, fuel gas systems, compressed air lines, and other fluid handling systems where iron or steel fittings might corrode over time. The red brass designation further indicates a higher copper content, which improves corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments. The seamless construction of this nipple means there is no weld seam that could become a weak point under pressure. MNPT threads conform to American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard fittings, valves, and couplings found throughout commercial and residential plumbing systems. This domestically produced fitting meets quality standards that trade professionals depend on for code-compliant installations.

• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with close length for tight, compact connections
• Male NPT threads on both ends for standard compatibility with fittings, valves, and couplings
• Seamless brass construction rated to Schedule 40 and standard wall thickness for pressure-rated applications
