1-1/4 inch x 2 inch Brass Nipple

1-1/4" x 2" Red Brass Nipple – Short-Pattern, Lead-Free Threaded Pipe

The 1-1/4" x 2" Red Brass Nipple is a precision-machined, threaded fitting manufactured for use in potable and non-potable water systems, air lines, and low-pressure gas applications. Constructed from lead-free red brass (Copper Alloy C23000 or equivalent), this nipple provides strong mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Material and Performance Characteristics

Red brass is preferred in water system installations due to its resistance to dezincification and its suitability for long-term contact with potable water. The nipple features tapered male NPT threads on both ends, conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards, ensuring compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves. Its short overall length (2") is ideal for use in compact configurations where precise alignment is necessary.

Product Features

• ✅ Material: Red Brass – High copper content provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
• ✅ Size: 1-1/4" nominal diameter x 2" overall length
• ✅ Connection Type: Male NPT x Male NPT
• ✅ Compliance: Meets NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 for lead-free potable water system components

Installation Requirements

Threaded installation requires application of approved joint sealant or PTFE tape to ensure leak resistance. Install using proper tools to avoid overtightening or thread damage. This fitting should be installed in accordance with project specifications and applicable mechanical or plumbing codes.

Common Applications

This red brass nipple is used in a range of applications including domestic water supply lines, pump systems, boiler hookups, and mechanical room assemblies. Its durability and non-corrosive properties make it well suited for service in both indoor and outdoor locations when protected from aggressive environments.

Material Insight

Red brass offers superior corrosion resistance compared to yellow brass, particularly in systems with fluctuating pH or high mineral content. Its lead-free composition ensures full compliance with national and state-level potable water regulations.
