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

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR38-3 is a 3/8 inch by 3 inch brass pipe nipple built for reliable performance in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. This nipple measures 3/8 inch in nominal pipe size and 3 inches in overall length, making it a compact fitting suited for tight installations where a short threaded connector is needed between two pipe sections or fittings. It is manufactured from brass, a material well known for its corrosion resistance, machinability, and long service life in water, gas, and fluid handling applications. The fitting features Male National Pipe Taper threads on both ends, conforming to the standard MNPT thread form that ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection when assembled with matching female-threaded fittings or valves. The Schedule 40 standard wall thickness provides the structural integrity required for typical residential and commercial plumbing pressure ratings. This nipple is seamless in construction, meaning it is formed without a weld seam, which contributes to more uniform wall thickness and better resistance to pressure stress over time. Domestic manufacturing means this fitting meets quality standards expected by professional plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who specify American-made components for job site or facility work. Brass pipe nipples like this one are commonly used in water supply lines, gas distribution systems, compressed air lines, steam service at appropriate ratings, and hydronic heating loops. The 3/8 inch size is a standard dimension found throughout residential plumbing rough-in work and light commercial mechanical systems. Whether used as a close connector between a valve and a supply line or as a riser extension in a tight space, the Merit Brass NIPBR38-3 delivers dependable threaded joint performance that trade professionals can count on.
