Value Collection PC112NB-8 Brass Pipe Nipple Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC112NB-8 is a close-pattern brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, intended for use in low-pressure fluid and gas piping assemblies. At 1-5/16 inches overall length, this short-body nipple carries NPT threads and a nickel-plated finish that provides added corrosion resistance compared to bare brass. It is a standard fitting component installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians when connecting pipe runs, valves, or fittings in tight spaces where a longer nipple would not seat correctly. The compact OAL makes it suitable for close-coupled connections in manifold assemblies, fixture supply lines, and equipment hook-ups.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general mechanical systems where NPT-threaded connections are required. The nickel plating makes it appropriate for installations where aesthetics or mild corrosion resistance are considerations, such as exposed fixture risers or above-floor service connections. It is typically used in conjunction with threaded valves, tees, elbows, and couplings in 1/8-inch nominal pipe size applications.

Key Features

• NPT threads on both ends for standard tapered thread engagement
• Nickel-plated finish for added corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• 1-5/16 inches overall length suits close-coupled and tight-clearance installations
• Brass base material offers good machinability and compatibility with water and gas service
• Single-piece quantity packaging for small-quantity service and repair work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded brass pipe nipple for use with compatible NPT valves, fittings, and couplings in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the external threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can deform under excessive torque.
