Merit Brass NIPBR114-312 Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 Inches X 3-1/2 Inches Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR114-312 is a seamless brass pipe nipple designed for reliable, leak-free connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in nominal pipe size and 3-1/2 inches in overall length. It features male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends, making it a standard close-pattern nipple that threads directly into fittings, valves, manifolds, and pipe couplings. The pipe schedule is SCH 40 and Standard weight, which meets the wall thickness requirements for the vast majority of commercial and residential plumbing applications.

Brass pipe nipples are a go-to choice for plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians because brass resists corrosion, handles moderate heat, and holds up well in both water and gas service. Brass also machines cleanly, which means threads are precise and consistent, reducing the risk of cross-threading or joint failure in the field. The seamless construction of this nipple eliminates a potential weak point found in welded alternatives, giving the joint added strength and pressure integrity.

This nipple is domestically manufactured, which is important for projects requiring compliance with Buy American provisions, government contracts, or specifications that call out domestic-origin materials. Plumbing contractors, mechanical contractors, and facilities maintenance teams regularly specify domestic brass fittings for these reasons.

The 1-1/4 inch size is commonly used in branch lines, boiler piping, gas distribution, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating loops. The 3-1/2 inch length gives enough threaded engagement to bridge valve bodies, manifold ports, and tight equipment connections where a close nipple or hex nipple would not reach. MERIT BRASS is a well-established brand in the trade supply market, known for consistent quality and broad availability across wholesale distribution channels.
