Midland Industries 40162 Brass Pipe Nipple 2 in Mpt 3 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 40162 is a seamless pipe nipple manufactured from lead-free red brass, designed for use in pressure piping systems where corrosion resistance and reliable thread engagement are required. It features a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) on both ends with a 2-11.5 thread form conforming to ANSI B1.20.1. The nipple measures 3 inches in length with a 2.063-inch inner diameter and a 2.375-inch outer diameter, providing a 0.156-inch wall thickness. Rated at Schedule 40 and a pressure class of 125 lb, it handles up to 540 psi at 100 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in commercial and industrial service lines.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, hot and cold water distribution, HVAC hydronic systems, and general fluid handling applications where brass fittings are specified. Its lead-free construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems. The operating temperature range of -20 to 400 degrees F accommodates a wide variety of service conditions. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on Schedule 40 brass piping systems will find this a direct-fit close nipple for standard 2-inch pipe runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; thread engagement to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns per pipe size is standard practice.
