Midland Industries 706122-12-7337 Extra Long Hex Nipple

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 706122-12-7337 is a lead-free brass extra long hex nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and piping systems. It connects two 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) fittings, providing an extended reach between components where a standard nipple falls short. The hex body allows for full wrench engagement, making it easier to tighten into tight assemblies without slipping. Lead-free brass construction meets modern potable water compliance requirements. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in water supply, hydronic heating, and general fluid service applications.

This hex nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a longer threaded section is needed to bridge gaps between valves, flanges, or other threaded components. The 3/4-14 NPT thread specification is standard for 3/4-inch pipe and mates with any conforming female threaded fitting or valve body. The lead-free brass material makes it appropriate for potable water lines where lead content restrictions apply under applicable plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before threading this nipple into any live line. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to the hex flats. Consult the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local amendments for approved materials and installation practices on potable water piping.
