1/4 inch x 1-1/2 inch Brass Nipple

1/4" x 1-1/2" Lead-Free Brass Pipe Nipple – Machined for Secure Threaded Connections

The 1/4" x 1-1/2" brass nipple is a precision-machined fitting designed for joining female-threaded components in plumbing and mechanical systems. Manufactured from lead-free brass, it complies with Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements and provides excellent corrosion resistance in both potable water and non-potable applications.

This straight pipe nipple features NPT (National Pipe Taper) male threads on both ends, ensuring a secure fit when properly sealed. It is frequently used in water distribution lines, low-pressure air systems, instrumentation setups, and hydraulic controls where a short-length threaded extension is required.

Performance Highlights

• ✅ Material: Machined from lead-free brass (per NSF/ANSI 372 and 61 standards)
• ✅ Thread Type: NPT male x NPT male for pressure-tight connections
• ✅ Corrosion Resistant: Suitable for potable water and other compatible fluids
• ✅ Temperature and Pressure Range: Rated for standard low- to moderate-pressure piping systems
• ✅ Standard Fit: Compatible with other 1/4" nominal pipe thread fittings

Applications

Used in both residential and commercial plumbing systems, this nipple serves as a connector or extension for water heaters, filtration units, pump manifolds, valves, and meters. Its short length is ideal when minimal distance between components is required without sacrificing thread engagement.

Installation Guidance

Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads prior to installation. Torque should be applied using appropriate hand tools to prevent deformation. Inspect for misalignment or cross-threading to ensure a leak-tight seal. Follow local plumbing codes where applicable.
