No-lead red brass nipple connects 2-inch pipe sections in potable-water systems

  • No-lead brass meets California Proposition 65 requirements

Plumbing fitting for potable water systems

This Legend Valve 311-169 nipple connects two female-threaded components in residential or commercial plumbing. The 2-inch by 5-1/2-inch red brass body is manufactured with no-lead alloy for compliance with drinking-water regulations. Installers use it to extend pipe runs or join valves, pumps and fixtures in hot and cold water lines.

No-lead alloy resists corrosion and scaling

Red brass construction withstands typical municipal water pressure and temperature without deforming. The material minimises mineral build-up inside the bore, preserving flow rates over long service intervals. Threaded ends seal with standard pipe compound or tape, requiring no specialised tools or power during assembly.

Replaces leaded brass nipples in code-driven

When local ordinances mandate lead-free fittings, this nipple substitutes directly for older 2-inch brass nipples of the same length. The swap is worthwhile during repiping projects, fixture replacements or any repair where the existing nipple shows corrosion, threading damage or fails a lead-content inspection.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2" x 5-1/2" no-lead red brass nipple and what step is often missed?

Clean both 2" pipe threads, apply thread sealant evenly, then tighten the nipple with a pipe wrench on the hex flats; the step often missed is removing all old sealant and metal shavings before the new joint is made.

What maintenance or replacement will the 311-169 brass nipple need over time?

The no-lead red brass resists dezincification, so scheduled replacement is not required; inspect the joint annually for leaks or green corrosion and reapply sealant only if seepage appears.

What limit appears first on the 2" x 5-1/2" nipple under continuous pressurised flow?

The practical limit is the pressure rating of the adjoining 2" pipe and fittings; the nipple itself is solid red brass and will not deform before the connected components reach their rated maximum.
