It features 1\/2 in male pipe thread (MPT) connections on both ends, a 5-1\/2 in body length, and a 1\/2 in nominal diameter. Manufactured from red brass to resist corrosion and dezincification in wet service conditions, this nipple meets ANSI B1.20.1 thread dimensional standards and carries a Schedule 80 (Extra Heavy) wall rating, making it suitable for higher-pressure service where standard-weight fittings fall short. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and gas distribution systems where a short threaded connection is required between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Its extra-heavy wall rating makes it well suited for applications demanding greater pressure capability or mechanical durability than Schedule 40 allows. The 1\/2-14 thread form is the standard taper pipe thread pitch for 1\/2 in nominal pipe size, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT-threaded components throughout a system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 (Extra Heavy) wall rating for elevated-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed brass construction resists corrosion and dezincification in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 in MPT x 1\/2 in MPT  -  both ends male pipe thread, 1\/2-14 thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-1\/2 in overall length for standard close-nipple spacing requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI B1.20.1 thread dimensional standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-service nipple for 1\/2 in NPT female-threaded valves, fittings, and equipment ports in plumbing and hydronic piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape in accordance with the applicable system requirements and local plumbing code before threading the nipple into female connections. Do not over-torque  -  use a pipe wrench sized for 1\/2 in pipe and seat the joint without cracking the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: MPT x MPT (both ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Form\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-14 NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: SCH 80 \/ Extra Heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.85 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.515 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42069\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948851724594,"sku":"42069","price":54.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e031a32b0c1816d80d17a4f108070019.jpg?v=1791674971","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-42069-brass-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-sch-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
