1 inch x 2 inch Brass Nipple

Precision-Machined Brass Nipple – Threaded Connector for Demanding Systems

In professional plumbing systems, maintaining structural and hydraulic integrity requires components built to specification. This 1" x 2" Brass Nipple is manufactured for threaded connections in water, oil, gas, and air systems where durability, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy are critical.

Constructed from lead-free brass, this nipple meets potable water requirements and resists dezincification, making it suitable for both above-ground and concealed installations. Its short length and rigid structure enable effective coupling of fittings in confined spaces or direct pipe-to-pipe threading without compromising pressure ratings.

Advantages of High-Grade Brass Threaded Components

Brass fittings provide a balance of machinability, strength, and corrosion resistance, ideal for repetitive service in mechanical and plumbing systems. Key professional advantages include:

• ✅ Reduced Downtime: Maintains seal integrity under variable pressure and thermal cycles.
• ✅ Consistent Tapered Thread Engagement: Minimizes thread galling and enables secure torqueing during assembly.
• ✅ Excellent Compatibility: Interfaces seamlessly with brass, copper, and galvanized components.

Dimensional and Material Specifications

• ✅ Size: 1" nominal pipe diameter x 2" length (NPT).
• ✅ Material: Lead-Free Brass (compliant with federal and state potable water standards).
• ✅ Connection: Male NPT Threaded Ends – designed to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards.

Installation Guidelines

Standard installation requires the use of PTFE thread seal tape or approved pipe joint compound to prevent leakage. Apply uniform torque using appropriate tools to avoid thread distortion. Ideal for integration into pressure-tested systems, including hot and cold water lines, heating loops, and pump assemblies.

Typical Applications

Frequently installed in commercial and residential plumbing layouts, this nipple is utilized in distribution manifolds, boiler connections, water heater links, and system modifications requiring compact, rigid threaded extensions. Also appropriate for integration into backflow prevention assemblies and service valves.

Code Compliance Notice

This fitting adheres to national lead-free legislation and is certified for use in potable water systems. It fulfills Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act and meets NSF/ANSI 61-G requirements.
