Merit Brass NIPBR12-7 Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inches X 7 Inches Mnpt Brass Sch 40 Std Seamless Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR12-7 is a 1/2 inch by 7 inch male NPT brass pipe nipple built to Schedule 40 standard wall specifications. It is a seamless, domestically manufactured fitting used to connect two female-threaded ports or extend a pipe run in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Pipe nipples are among the most commonly used threaded fittings in trade work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on them daily for connecting valves, fittings, pumps, and other components in water, gas, steam, and air supply lines. The NIPBR12-7 delivers a reliable, pressure-rated connection in applications where corrosion resistance and strength matter. Brass is the preferred material in many plumbing and hydronic heating systems because it resists dezincification, handles both hot and cold water, and provides long service life without rust or scale buildup. The male NPT threads on both ends conform to American standard taper thread specifications, ensuring a tight seal when used with pipe dope or PTFE thread tape. At 7 inches in length and 1/2 inch nominal pipe size, this nipple is well suited for close-quarter installations where a standard close nipple is too short but a longer spool piece is not needed. Schedule 40 wall thickness provides the mechanical strength required for most residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and low-pressure gas distribution applications. Seamless construction means there is no weld seam, which reduces the risk of weak points under pressure or thermal cycling. Domestic manufacturing supports quality consistency and traceability for job sites and inspection requirements. This fitting is a standard replacement and new-installation part for professional contractors working in plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC trades.

• 1/2 inch nominal size with 7 inch overall length for versatile pipe run extensions
