Merit Brass NIPBR12-12 Pipe Nipple 0.5 Inches X 12 Inches Mnpt Sch 40 Brass Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR12-12 is a 0.5 inch x 12 inch male NPT brass pipe nipple rated to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness. It is a seamless, domestically manufactured fitting used to connect two threaded pipe sections or fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Pipe nipples are short lengths of pipe with male threads on both ends, making them essential for extending runs, changing direction with elbows, or connecting valves and other threaded components. This nipple measures 12 inches in length and 0.5 inches in nominal pipe size, offering a practical reach for installations where a close or hex nipple falls short. The MNPT threading on both ends conforms to National Pipe Taper standards, ensuring a secure, leak-resistant seal when used with thread sealant tape or pipe dope. Brass construction makes this nipple an excellent choice for water supply lines, gas distribution, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating applications. Brass resists corrosion from moisture and many chemicals, performs well across a wide temperature range, and is easy to work with using standard hand tools. The Schedule 40 wall thickness rating means this nipple can handle the pressure demands typical of residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams that could be potential weak points, contributing to the overall reliability of the fitting. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on brass nipples like this one for dependable performance in both new construction and retrofit work. Domestic manufacturing supports consistent quality control and meets many project specifications that require USA-made components.
