Threaded Red Brass Nipple

This 12 inch Schedule 80 pipe nipple is machined from red brass and threaded on both ends with 1/2 inch MNPT connections. It is built for plumbing installations that require corrosion resistant material and a pressure rating of 250 PSI across a temperature range of 20 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Replaces Standard Brass Fittings

The Schedule 80 wall provides higher pressure capacity than standard Schedule 40 nipples in the same nominal size. The upgrade is worth it when the system design calls for 250 PSI working pressure or when the fluid temperature approaches the upper end of the 400 degree Fahrenheit limit.

Simple Threaded Installation

The MNPT threads on both ends allow direct assembly into compatible female fittings without soldering or special tools. Leaks usually come from insufficient thread sealant or cross threading during assembly, so apply tape or compound evenly and start threads by hand before tightening.

Questions about this item

What size female NPT fitting does the 1/2" MNPT thread on this nipple require?

It needs a 1/2" female NPT fitting on each end to match the male threads cut to Schedule 80 dimensions.

How do I install the nipple without damaging the red brass threads?

Wrap PTFE tape clockwise on the male threads, hand-tighten into the female fitting, then finish with a wrench no more than two full turns.

When should I replace this Schedule 80 red brass nipple?

Replace it if you see green dezincification deposits, cracks at the thread roots, or if the system pressure exceeds the 250 PSI rating.
