Legend Valve 311-071 1/2" x 7 Red Brass Nipple

Plumbing fitting for water lines

The Legend Valve 311-071 is a 1/2 inch by 7 inch red brass nipple designed for plumbing installations. It connects two female-threaded components in a water supply system. The no-lead brass construction meets safety requirements for potable water applications. This component suits professional plumbers and DIYers repairing or extending pipe runs.

Brass build with threaded ends

Red brass resists corrosion and dezincification better than standard yellow brass in aggressive water conditions. Both ends carry male NPT threads for direct engagement with couplings, elbows or valves. The 7 inch length provides a fixed spacer between fittings without requiring a separate coupling and short pipe. Thread sealant or tape ensures a watertight joint during assembly.

Check thread size and length first

Verify that your existing piping uses 1/2 inch NPT female threads before ordering. Confirm the 7 inch centre-to-centre distance matches the gap you need to bridge. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm. No lead certification supports drinking water use but local codes may impose additional requirements.
