1/2" x 8" No Lead Red Brass Nipple

The Legend Valve 311-072 is a 1/2-inch by 8-inch nipple constructed from no-lead red brass. It serves as a standard connector for joining two female-threaded fittings in potable water or hydronic heating systems. This component is intended for plumbers and facility maintenance teams requiring a compliant, corrosion-resistant pipe nipple.

Fits 1/2-inch NPT female threads

The nipple mates with any 1/2-inch NPT female threaded fitting such as couplings, elbows, tees or valves. Its no-lead brass construction satisfies California Proposition 65 requirements for drinking water installations. The 8-inch length provides a fixed centre-to-centre span, eliminating the need for cutting and threading shorter pipe sections on site.

Withstands continuous pressure

Red brass resists dezincification and stress corrosion cracking under sustained system pressure and repeated thermal expansion cycles. The no-lead alloy maintains structural integrity without leaching regulated substances during long-term service. The product carries a Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

How does the Prop 65 chemical listing affect long-term use of the 311-072 nipple?

The listing means the product contains a chemical known to California to cause cancer and reproductive harm; it does not change the nipple's mechanical function or installation requirements.

Will the brass nipple heat up or make noise when water runs through it all day?

Brass conducts heat so the nipple will reach water temperature, but it has no moving parts and produces no noise of its own.

What pipe threads must I already have to connect this 1/2 inch nipple?

You need mating 1/2 inch NPT threads on both the pipe and the fitting you are joining.
