Pasco 6693 Empty Nipple Kit 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PASCO 6693 is a 1/2-inch empty nipple kit designed for plumbing repair and installation work. An empty nipple, also called a close nipple, is a short threaded fitting used to make a tight male-to-female or female-to-female threaded connection with minimal exposed pipe between fittings. This kit format provides the hardware needed to complete the connection in a single package, saving time during service calls. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers use this fitting type in water supply lines, drain configurations, and general pipe assembly work.

The 6693 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a compact 1/2-inch threaded connection is required. Typical install scenarios include connecting valves, unions, tees, and other fittings in tight spaces where a standard-length nipple would not fit. The kit format makes it a practical addition to a service truck or shop inventory for common repair situations.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch empty nipple configuration for compact fitting-to-fitting connections
• Kit format includes necessary hardware for complete installation
• Threaded design compatible with standard NPT plumbing connections
• Compact profile suited for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2-inch NPT threaded plumbing assemblies in residential and light commercial water supply systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
