Value Collection PC112NB-4 Brass Pipe Nipple Npt Nickel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC112NB-4 is a close brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in low-pressure fluid and gas piping systems. It measures 7/8 inches overall length (OAL) and is manufactured from brass with a nickel-plated finish that resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments. Both ends carry NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads for secure, leak-resistant connections to standard fittings and valves. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple to make short pipe extensions or to connect two threaded fittings in tight-clearance applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and HVAC piping where a short threaded connector is needed. Its compact 7/8-inch OAL makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections where standard or longer nipples will not fit. The nickel plating adds a finished appearance and additional protection against oxidation, making it a practical choice for exposed or semi-exposed installations in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, or fixture supply lines.

Key Features

• Threaded on both ends with NPT taper threads for standard leak-resistant connections
• 7/8-inch overall length for close-coupled or tight-clearance installations
• Brass base material provides inherent corrosion resistance and good machinability
• Nickel-plated finish adds additional corrosion protection and clean appearance
• Compatible with standard NPT fittings, valves, and threaded pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for any system using standard NPT threaded brass pipe components in plumbing, HVAC, or hydronic piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements for the specific fluid or gas service. Shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material is softer than iron and can crack under excessive torque.
