1-1/2 Inch Brass Nipple for Plumbing Systems

The Legend Valve 311-148 is a no-lead red brass nipple designed for potable water and hydronic piping. Its 1-1/2 inch diameter suits standard residential and light commercial supply lines. Installers use it to bridge fittings, valves or equipment where a rigid, corrosion-resistant connection is required. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Five Inch Length Handles Typical Offsets

At five inches long the nipple spans common gaps between threaded components without needing a coupling. It provides enough thread engagement on both ends for a leak-free joint while keeping the assembly compact. Runs that demand a longer reach or a different diameter will require another fitting.

Brass Construction Resists Corrosion

Red brass alloy withstands chlorinated water and resists dezincification better than yellow brass. The material adds negligible electrical resistance so galvanic corrosion stays low in mixed-metal systems. No moving parts means silent operation and no maintenance after installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 311-148 brass nipple thread into my existing 1-1/2" fittings without leaks?

The 311-148 nipple uses standard 1-1/2" pipe threads, so it mates with matching fittings; apply thread sealant on the tapered threads for a leak-free joint.

How can I confirm the 311-148 nipple is installed correctly after tightening?

Pressurise the line and inspect each joint for drips; a properly sealed 311-148 connection shows no moisture at the threads.

Does the 311-148 package include thread sealant or must I buy it separately?

Only the 1-1/2" x 5" no-lead red brass nipple is supplied; pipe-thread sealant or tape must be purchased separately.
