Merit Brass NIPBR12-CLO Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inch Close Length Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Std Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR12-CLO is a close-length brass pipe nipple designed for reliable, leak-free connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 1/2 inch nominal pipe size and features male NPT threads on both ends, making it a standard threaded fitting compatible with a wide range of valves, couplings, tees, elbows, and other threaded pipe components. The close-length design means the nipple is threaded along its entire length with no unthreaded center section, which allows two fittings to be joined with minimal space between them. This makes it the preferred choice when you need to connect two threaded components directly together in tight spaces or compact assemblies. Constructed from domestic brass, this nipple offers excellent corrosion resistance in water, air, and many chemical service applications. Brass fittings are commonly used in potable water systems, hydronic heating, gas distribution, compressed air lines, and general plumbing service. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams that could be weak points under pressure, giving this nipple added strength and integrity. It meets Schedule 40 and standard wall thickness requirements, which means it handles typical working pressures found in residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems. MNPT threading conforms to American National Standard Taper Pipe Thread specifications, ensuring consistent fit with standard threaded fittings from most major manufacturers. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals rely on close nipples like this one to complete tight assemblies and keep piping runs compact and clean. Domestic manufacturing supports consistent quality control and material traceability for projects that require US-made components.

• 1/2 inch nominal size with male NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
