Midland Industries 706113-0624 Long Nipple 3/8 Mpt Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 706113-0624 is a lead-free brass long nipple designed for connecting threaded pipe sections in plumbing and mechanical systems. It features 3/8-inch male pipe thread (MPT) on both ends with a 3/8-18 thread specification and measures 1-1/2 inches in length. The lead-free brass construction meets modern potable water and plumbing code requirements, making it suitable for licensed plumbers working on residential and light commercial installations. At 0.06 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for tight-space applications where a standard close nipple is insufficient but a longer extension is not required.

This long nipple is used to join two female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections with 3/8-inch MPT connections. Typical applications include water supply lines, gas distribution systems, and compressed air assemblies where a short threaded extension is needed. It is compatible with brass or steel pipe, making it a versatile option across multiple trade applications including plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and light industrial piping.

Compatibility

Designed for use with brass or steel pipe featuring 3/8-inch female pipe thread connections. Suitable as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting in standard NPT threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with appropriately sized pipe wrenches without over-torquing brass fittings. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure.
