Merit Brass NIPBR38-112 Pipe Nipple 3/8 Inch X 1-1/2 Inch Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Seamless Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR38-112 is a close-tolerance brass pipe nipple designed for demanding plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. This nipple measures 3/8 inches nominal pipe size and 1-1/2 inches in overall length, making it a compact and reliable connector for tight spaces and short run connections. It features male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends, allowing it to thread directly into fittings, valves, manifolds, and equipment ports that accept standard tapered pipe threads. The Schedule 40 standard wall thickness provides the structural integrity needed for medium-pressure systems while keeping weight and material cost efficient. Brass construction gives this nipple excellent corrosion resistance, making it well suited for water supply lines, compressed air systems, natural gas distribution, hydraulic circuits, and steam applications within rated limits. Brass also machines cleanly and holds threads precisely, reducing the chance of cross-threading or leak points during installation. This nipple is produced domestically using a seamless manufacturing process, which eliminates weld seams and produces a uniform wall thickness throughout the length of the fitting. Seamless construction reduces stress concentration points and improves pressure integrity compared to welded alternatives. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals rely on brass MNPT nipples like this one for connecting valves to pipe runs, extending threaded ports, and adapting between components in mixed-material systems. The red finish on the brass body helps with quick visual identification on the job site or in parts storage. Always apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. This fitting complies with standard Schedule 40 dimensional requirements for 3/8 inch pipe.
