Merit Brass NIPBR14-CLO Pipe Nipple 1/4 Inch Close Length Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Std Seamless Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR14-CLO is a 1/4 inch close length brass pipe nipple built for professional plumbing and industrial piping applications. A pipe nipple is a short length of pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or other threaded components in a piping system. The close length designation means there is no unthreaded portion between the two male threads, making this nipple ideal for tight spaces where a standard length nipple would not fit. This type of fitting is commonly called a close nipple or all-thread nipple because the threads run the full length of the piece. HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance workers rely on close nipples like the NIPBR14-CLO when assembling compact manifolds, valve clusters, and service connections. The male NPT threads on both ends conform to the National Pipe Taper standard, ensuring a pressure-tight seal when used with a compatible female NPT fitting and appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape. Brass is the material of choice for many water, gas, and low-pressure steam applications because it resists corrosion, is easy to machine, and maintains a reliable seal over time. This nipple follows Schedule 40 and Standard wall thickness requirements, meaning it has adequate wall thickness for the pressure demands typical in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and compressed air systems. The seamless construction eliminates the weld seam, which can be a potential weak point in threaded fittings under pressure cycling. Domestically manufactured, this nipple meets quality expectations for trade professionals who require consistent dimensional accuracy and material compliance on every job. Whether you are extending a water line, connecting a pressure gauge, or building out a gas piping rough-in, the Merit Brass NIPBR14-CLO delivers dependable performance in a compact form factor.

• 1/4 inch nominal size with close length configuration for use in tight or confined piping spaces
• Male NPT threads on both ends for secure, pressure-tight connections with standard female NPT fittings
• Seamless brass construction with Schedule 40 and Standard wall thickness for durability and corrosion resistance
