Merit Brass NIPBR18-512 Pipe Nipple 1/8 in X 5-1/2 in Mnpt Brass Sch 40 Std Seamless Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR18-512 is a 1/8 inch nominal brass pipe nipple designed for reliable, leak-free connections in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 5-1/2 inches in length and features Male National Pipe Taper (MNPT) threads on both ends, allowing it to thread directly into female-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment. It is manufactured using a seamless process, which eliminates the weld seam and produces a stronger, more uniform wall structure throughout the body of the nipple. This makes it well suited for higher-pressure applications and situations where consistent wall thickness is critical. The nipple carries a Schedule 40 and Standard (STD) wall rating, which is among the most common specifications used in commercial and residential piping work. Brass is the material of choice here for good reason. It resists corrosion from water, steam, and many common chemicals. It machines cleanly and holds threads well, reducing the risk of cross-threading or thread failure during installation. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors rely on brass nipples like this one when working with water supply lines, compressed air systems, fuel gas lines, and hydronic heating systems. This nipple is domestically manufactured, meeting quality standards expected by trade professionals. The red identification color helps with quick visual sorting on the job site or in a supply house. Whether you are extending a run, making a close offset, or connecting equipment to a threaded pipe system, the NIPBR18-512 delivers consistent fit and dependable service life. It is a straightforward, code-compliant component built for everyday trade use.
