Brass nipple for plumbing systems
This 3-inch by 5-1/2-inch red brass nipple connects threaded pipe sections in water supply or heating installations. It is manufactured by Legend Valve and supplied in new condition for professional or residential plumbing work. The no-lead alloy meets modern drinking-water safety requirements for potable systems.
Capacity and headroom in service
The fitting handles standard municipal pressure ratings found in typical domestic and light-commercial lines. Its solid brass construction resists dezincification and seasonal temperature swings without cracking. The fixed length limits use to spans matching the 5-1/2-inch centre-to-centre dimension.
Build quality and daily implications
Red brass threads cut cleanly and seal reliably with PTFE tape or pipe dope. The hex shoulders allow firm engagement with a pipe wrench without damaging the barrel. California Proposition 65 warnings note the presence of regulated substances, so installers should follow standard hygiene practices when handling the component.

Questions about this item
Will the 311-209 brass nipple thread into my existing 3-inch iron pipe without leaks?
The 311-209 is a 3-inch brass nipple with standard NPT threads that match 3-inch iron pipe; use pipe-thread sealant or tape on the male ends to ensure a leak-free joint with older fittings.
How can I confirm the 311-209 nipple is seated correctly after installation?
After tightening, the nipple should sit flush with no visible thread gaps; pressurise the line and check each joint for moisture — a dry joint indicates the 311-209 is seated and sealing as intended.
Does the 311-209 come with any gaskets or sealant, or must I buy them separately?
The 311-209 is supplied as the brass nipple only; thread-seal tape, pipe dope or any required gaskets must be purchased separately before installation.
