Midland Industries NPCH1240 Brass Nipple 3/8 X 4 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES NPCH1240 is a chrome-plated brass pipe nipple measuring 3/8 inch nominal pipe size by 4 inches in length. Brass nipples provide reliable, corrosion-resistant connections in low-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. The chrome plating adds a finished appearance suitable for exposed installations. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during rough-in and finish plumbing work wherever a short threaded extension is needed between fittings, valves, or fixtures.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including water supply lines, drain and vent systems, and gas piping where brass is an approved material. Its 3/8 inch nominal pipe thread size fits standard NPT fittings and valves commonly found in bathroom and kitchen fixture supply runs. The chrome finish makes it appropriate for exposed riser or fixture-stop installations where aesthetics matter alongside function.

Key Features

• Chrome-plated exterior for a finished look in exposed plumbing installations
• Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance in water and compatible gas service
• 3/8 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded valves, couplings, and fixture supply connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and can crack under excessive torque.
