Midland Industries NPBR3460 Brass Nipple 3/4x6in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES NPBR3460 is a brass pipe nipple measuring 3/4 inch nominal diameter by 6 inches in length. Brass nipples serve as short threaded connectors used to join two female-threaded fittings or extend a pipe run within a plumbing, HVAC, or gas distribution system. The 3/4-inch size is one of the most common in residential and light commercial work, appearing in water supply lines, fuel gas headers, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating loops. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as a standard part of piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a 3/4-inch threaded connection is required. Typical applications include connecting valves, unions, tees, and other threaded fittings in water supply, fuel gas, and compressed air lines. The 6-inch length provides additional offset or clearance between components that a close or short nipple cannot accommodate. It is a commonly stocked fitting in maintenance, service, and new-construction plumbing work.

Key Features

• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in wet and gas service environments
• 3/4-inch nominal diameter fits standard 3/4-inch NPT threaded fittings
• 6-inch length provides working clearance between two female-threaded connections
• NPT threads on both ends for leak-resistant connections when properly sealed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation brass nipple for 3/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians in jurisdictions where required by code. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before installing or removing any threaded nipple.
