Value Collection PC113NB-615 Brass Pipe Nipple Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION PC113NB-615 is a close-pattern brass pipe nipple designed for use in threaded piping assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications. The nipple is threaded on both ends using the NPT standard, allowing it to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or ports in a straight-line run. The overall assembly length is 1-1/2 inches, making it well suited for tight-clearance installations where a longer nipple would not fit. A nickel-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance at exposed connection points. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly use close nipples like this to reduce dead space in manifolds, gauge ports, and service connections.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial piping systems where NPT-threaded connections are standard. Typical applications include boiler trim lines, water supply connections, air line assemblies, refrigerant gauge manifold ports, and condensate drain tie-ins. The 1-1/2-inch OAL length is appropriate for situations requiring a very short threaded transition between two fittings or between a fitting and an equipment port. The nickel-plated surface is compatible with potable water systems and pressurized gas lines where applicable local codes permit brass fittings.

Key Features

• Threaded on both ends to NPT standard for universal compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• 1-1/2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance and close-coupling applications
• Nickel-plated finish adds corrosion resistance over bare brass
• Brass construction provides good machinability and resistance to dezincification in water service
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, minimizing added load on sensitive gauge or instrument ports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fitting for any system using standard NPT-threaded pipe connections in sizes consistent with this nipple's thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the gas or air line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant — PTFE tape or pipe dope rated for the service fluid — to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; hand-snug the fitting and use a wrench for a final controlled turn to achieve a leak-free seal without cracking the brass.
