Merit Brass NIPBR3-CLO Pipe Nipple 3 Inch Close Length Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Std Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR3-CLO is a 3 inch nominal close-length pipe nipple made from solid brass and threaded on both ends with male NPT (MNPT) connections. This fitting is built to Schedule 40 standard wall thickness, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of plumbing, industrial, and mechanical applications. Close nipples are the shortest type of pipe nipple available, with threads running nearly the full length of the fitting. This design is ideal when you need to connect two female-threaded fittings with virtually no gap between them, saving space in tight installations where every inch matters. The seamless brass construction ensures consistent wall thickness and strong resistance to corrosion, making this nipple well suited for use in water supply lines, fuel gas systems, compressed air systems, and general fluid transfer applications. Brass is a preferred material among plumbing professionals because it handles both hot and cold water effectively, resists dezincification in many water conditions, and provides a secure, long-lasting seal when properly threaded and installed. MNPT threading follows standard National Pipe Taper specifications, ensuring compatibility with a broad range of fittings, valves, and equipment from virtually any manufacturer. The domestic manufacturing origin supports quality traceability and meets many project specifications that require USA-made components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors frequently use close nipples like the NIPBR3-CLO in boiler systems, pump connections, valve assemblies, and anywhere a short, rigid connection between two threaded ports is required. The red brass designation also indicates a high copper content, which further enhances corrosion resistance and pressure-bearing capability. This part is a direct drop-in solution for 3 inch threaded pipe connections in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.
