Brass Nipple 1-1/2 x 4-1/2

The Legend Valve 311-147 is a no-lead red brass nipple designed for plumbing connections. It provides a straight, threaded pipe section in a 1-1/2 inch diameter by 4-1/2 inch length. This fitting is intended for use in water supply and distribution systems where lead-free components are required.

Installers needing lead-free brass for potable water

This nipple suits plumbers and contractors working on drinking water lines that must comply with low-lead regulations. The red brass construction offers corrosion resistance for standard plumbing applications. Buyers who require different diameters, lengths, or thread types should look at other fittings. It is not for gas lines or high-pressure hydraulic systems unless rated accordingly.

Fits standard NPT threads in copper or steel systems

The component threads into female NPT fittings on either end to join two pipe sections or components. It requires compatible 1-1/2 inch threaded connections and appropriate sealant or tape for a watertight joint. Using this nipple frees up the need for custom-cut pipe lengths and allows rigid alignment between fixed points in a plumbing assembly.

Questions about this item

What size pipe threads does the 311-147 nipple need to connect to?

The 311-147 nipple has 1-1/2 inch male threads on both ends, so it requires matching 1-1/2 inch female threaded fittings or pipes for a secure connection.

Can I join this no-lead red brass nipple to older standard brass fittings?

Yes, the 311-147 uses standard NPT threads, so it threads directly into existing brass, galvanized or copper adapters without any special transition pieces.

How can I confirm the 311-147 is sealed correctly after installation?

Pressurize the line and check each joint with leak-detect solution or soapy water; no bubbles means the 311-147 nipple is sealed and ready for service.
