Brass hex nipple for 1/4 in NPT plumbing

This solid brass hex nipple connects two female 1/4 in NPT fittings in water or gas lines. The Class 150 rating suits standard residential and light commercial pressure requirements. It is sold in a pack of 10 pieces for installers who need multiple joints. The straight threaded design allows a tight seal with pipe tape or sealant.

Replaces worn or mismatched threaded couplings

Use this nipple when an existing brass or steel coupling leaks, corrodes or no longer aligns after a repair. The jump is worth it when the old fitting cannot be cleaned to a reliable seal or when the thread standard differs from the new component. Brass resists dezincification better than plain steel in potable water systems. It is not for installers who need a reducing size or a female-to-female adapter.

Limited to Class 150 pressure and NPT threads

The Class 150 rating caps the maximum working pressure for this fitting. NPT threads require sealant and proper tightening to prevent leaks; they do not seal on the flare or compression face. The fitting cannot join metric, BSP or other thread standards without an adapter. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the brass alloy contains listed chemicals.

Questions about this item

Will the 1/4 in Male NPT threads fit my existing 1/4 in female fittings?

Yes, both ends are 1/4 in Male NPT threaded, matching standard 1/4 in female NPT ports.

How do I install this brass hex nipple without damaging the threads?

Apply PTFE tape or pipe sealant to the male threads, then tighten using a wrench on the hex section until the joint is snug; avoid over-tightening which can crack the brass.

When should I replace the nipple if it shows corrosion or leakage?

Inspect periodically; replace the fitting if you see greenish corrosion on the brass body or any seepage at the threaded joints.
