Merit Brass NIPBR18-5 Pipe Nipple 1/8 Inch X 5 Inch Mnpt Sch 40 Seamless Brass

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR18-5 is a seamless brass pipe nipple designed for reliable use in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 1/8 inch nominal pipe size and extends 5 inches in length, making it well suited for close-quarter connections and tight installation spaces where a short threaded extension is needed. It features Male National Pipe Taper threads on both ends, allowing it to thread directly into fittings, valves, manifolds, and other threaded pipe components with a secure, leak-resistant seal. The SCH 40 Standard wall thickness provides the structural integrity required for moderate-pressure service in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Brass is a preferred material among plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians for its excellent corrosion resistance, high machinability, and long service life. It performs reliably with water, steam, air, fuel gas, and many other media commonly found in trade work. Brass pipe nipples like the NIPBR18-5 are frequently used to connect valves to supply lines, extend threaded ports on equipment, and build out custom piping assemblies. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, reducing potential weak points and improving pressure integrity throughout the fitting. This nipple is domestically manufactured, which supports consistent quality control and compliance with many project specifications that require domestic sourcing. MNPT threads conform to ANSI and ASME standards, ensuring compatibility with standard pipe fittings across brands and systems. Whether you are building a new system or replacing a worn nipple in the field, the Merit Brass NIPBR18-5 delivers dependable performance in a straightforward, durable package that meets the demands of professional trade work.
