Merit Brass NIPBR18-6 Pipe Nipple 1/8 Inch X 6 Inch Mnpt Sch 40 Seamless Brass Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR18-6 is a 1/8 inch by 6 inch seamless brass pipe nipple designed for use in a wide range of plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This nipple features male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends, making it a standard close-to-long connector used to join fittings, valves, and other threaded pipe components. It meets Schedule 40 and standard wall thickness requirements, giving it the strength and durability needed for pressurized systems in commercial and residential applications. The nipple is manufactured domestically to consistent quality standards that plumbing and HVAC professionals rely on. Brass pipe nipples like the NIPBR18-6 are a staple in trade work. They resist corrosion better than steel in wet and humid environments, making them well suited for water supply lines, gas distribution systems, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating setups. The 1/8 inch nominal pipe size is commonly used in smaller branch lines, gauge ports, instrument connections, and pilot lines where a compact, reliable threaded connection is needed. At 6 inches in length, this nipple provides enough reach to bridge fittings across short distances without requiring additional couplings. Seamless construction means there is no weld seam along the body, which reduces the risk of weak points under pressure. The red brass color indicates a high copper content alloy that offers excellent machinability and leak-resistant thread engagement. Trade professionals including plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance crews keep brass nipples on hand for repairs, new installations, and system modifications. The NIPBR18-6 is compatible with standard NPT fittings and can be used with pipe dope or PTFE thread tape for a secure, leak-free seal.
