Legend Valve 311-088CP 3/4" x 5" Chrome Plated Brass Pipe Nipple

Chrome Plated Brass Pipe Nipple

This 3/4" x 5" chrome plated brass nipple connects two female-threaded plumbing components in residential or light commercial water systems. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance for exposed installations. It is intended for plumbers, maintenance technicians and DIYers who need a straight-threaded brass fitting for drain or trap assemblies. The product is supplied new and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Thread Compatibility And Clearance

Verify that both mating ports use 3/4" straight pipe threads before ordering. Measure the available space between the connected fittings to confirm a 5" overall length will fit without forcing the joint. Check that the existing piping material is compatible with brass to avoid galvanic corrosion in the system. Ensure local plumbing codes permit chrome plated brass nipples for the intended hot or cold water application.

Brass Construction And Chrome Finish

The solid brass body resists dezincification and withstands typical household water pressure and temperature ranges. Chrome plating adds surface hardness and simplifies cleaning on visible runs. Threads are cut to standard taper for reliable sealing with appropriate pipe tape or compound. The fitting has no moving parts, gaskets or electronic components, so routine inspection is limited to checking for leaks at the joints during system pressurisation.
