1/4 inch x 4 inch Brass Nipple

1/4" x 4" Brass Pipe Nipple – Machined for Durable Threaded Connections

The 1/4" x 4" Brass Nipple is a precision-machined fitting designed for secure, threaded pipe connections in a variety of applications. Constructed from high-quality lead-free brass, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for both hot and cold potable water systems, compressed air lines, and low-pressure gas systems.

Product Performance Features

• ✅ Lead-Free Brass Material – Complies with national low-lead content regulations for use in potable water distribution.
• ✅ Full-Length Thread Engagement – Manufactured with NPT threads for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and components.
• ✅ High Machining Precision – Tight dimensional tolerances reduce the risk of misalignment and ensure a secure, leak-resistant connection.
• ✅ Pressure and Temperature Tolerance – Suitable for moderate-pressure systems and rated for a wide operating temperature range, commonly from -65°F to 250°F.

Installation Guidelines

Install with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a tight seal. Use standard hand tools and avoid over-torquing, which may compromise the fitting or mating components.
