Value Collection PC113NB-415 Brass Pipe Nipple Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC113NB-415 is a close nipple machined from brass stock with NPT threads on both ends and a nickel-plated finish. At 1-1/2 inches overall length, it serves as a short-run connector between two female-threaded fittings, valves, or ports in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. The nickel plating adds a corrosion-resistant outer layer over the brass substrate, making it a practical choice in wet or humid environments. Weighing approximately 0.05 pounds, this nipple is a compact, single-piece fitting requiring no assembly beyond thread engagement. It is sized to standard NPT taper thread dimensions for reliable pressure-rated sealing when used with appropriate thread sealant or tape.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing connections, HVAC refrigerant or condensate line fittings, and compressed air or gas distribution where NPT brass fittings are specified. Its short overall length makes it particularly useful in tight spaces where a longer nipple or union would not fit. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians commonly stock close nipples of this type for service and repair work on threaded-pipe systems.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inches overall length for compact, short-run connections
• NPT threads on both ends conform to standard taper thread dimensions
• Brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and machinability
• Nickel-plated finish adds an additional layer of surface protection
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds — easy to handle in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT close nipple for use with any female NPT-threaded fitting, valve, or port of the corresponding pipe size in threaded brass or iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved pipe thread sealant to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to bring the joint to full engagement — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the fitting or distort threads. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing any existing fitting or installing this nipple in a live system.
