Legend Valve 311-180 2-1/2 Inch Close Brass Nipple

SKU CH-JPH4-P5GRF

Close-threaded red brass nipple for joining 2-1/2 inch pipe ends in potable water systems

  • Close-threaded brass nipple fits tight plumbing spaces
  • Lead-free red brass resists corrosion and meets drinking-water standards
  • 2-1/2 inch diameter suits medium-sized pipe connections
  • California Proposition 65 warning advises safe handling practices
  • New condition ensures clean, undamaged threads for reliable sealing

Product Identity

The Legend Valve 311-180 is a 2-1/2 inch close brass nipple designed for joining two female-threaded fittings in plumbing systems. It is intended for installers and maintenance crews who need a short, rigid connector in water or gas lines.

Practical Limits

The fitting uses a close-threaded design that leaves minimal exposed pipe between connections, so it cannot span gaps or provide adjustment length. The no-lead red brass construction meets California Proposition 65 disclosure requirements for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Installation Notes

Thread sealant or tape must be applied to both ends before tightening into female NPT ports to prevent leaks. Over-tightening can distort the short nipple or damage the mating fittings, so hand-tight plus one to two turns is the usual practice.

  • Lead-free red brass resists corrosion and meets drinking-water standards
  • 2-1/2 inch diameter suits medium-sized pipe connections
