Trim to the Trade 4T-401N-1 Chrome Nipple 1/2 Inch Ips

Product Description

The TRIM TO THE TRADE 4T-401N-1 is a chrome-plated pipe nipple sized at 1/2 inch IPS with a 2 inch length. Nipples are short threaded pipe fittings used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a threaded pipe run. This fitting is a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing supply lines, fixture trim assemblies, and valve installations. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on IPS-threaded nipples when assembling or repairing supply connections at sinks, faucets, and similar fixtures. The chrome finish provides a clean appearance suitable for exposed installations.

This nipple is appropriate for use in potable water supply lines, drain and vent assemblies, and decorative plumbing trim applications where a 1/2 inch IPS thread pattern is required. It is commonly installed at fixture supply stops, angle valves, and escutcheon assemblies. The 2 inch body length makes it suitable for close-couple connections where a standard close nipple would be too short but a longer extension is unnecessary.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch IPS thread pattern on both ends for standard compatibility
• 2 inch overall length for short extension and close-couple connections
• Chrome finish suited for exposed decorative plumbing applications
• Standard threaded nipple form factor installs with common hand tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for 1/2 inch IPS threaded plumbing assemblies in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to male threads before assembly, following local plumbing code requirements. A pipe wrench or basin wrench is typically used to tighten threaded nipples to hand-tight plus appropriate turns. Installation should conform to applicable IPC or local plumbing code standards.
