SKU CH-FCK3-6YND6

Connects plumbing lines with a 1-inch by 5-inch no-lead red brass nipple

  • Proposition 65 warning discloses regulated chemical content

Product identity

The Legend Valve 311-108 is a 1" x 5" no-lead red brass nipple designed for potable water and hydronic piping systems. It serves plumbers and maintenance crews who need a compliant, corrosion-resistant connector for joining female-threaded fittings.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive brass fitting the nipple generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no electrical power during normal operation. Its material construction handles typical domestic hot-water temperatures without degradation.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous pressure and thermal cycling the red brass body resists dezincification and maintains joint integrity without relaxation. The no-lead alloy satisfies Proposition 65 requirements for long-term contact with drinking water.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 1" x 5" brass nipple without cross-threading the threads?

Start the nipple by hand until it seats fully, then tighten with a pipe wrench on the flats only; the step most people rush is skipping the hand-start, which damages the threads and causes leaks.

What maintenance or replacement will this nipple need over time?

Red brass resists dezincification, so the nipple itself rarely fails; inspect the joint annually for green corrosion or weeping, and replace the nipple only if the threads strip or the body cracks from freeze damage.

What limit appears first when this nipple sees continuous hot-water circulation?

The 1" bore and 5" length set the flow capacity; sustained high-velocity hot water will erode the interior surface before the brass fatigues, so the practical limit is erosion at the thread roots.
