1 inch x 6 inch Brass Nipple

1 Inch x 6 Inch Brass Pipe Nipple – NPT Threaded, Lead-Free

The 1 inch x 6 inch Brass Pipe Nipple is a straight fitting used for extending runs or joining two female-threaded components in water, air, or non-corrosive fluid systems. Constructed from lead-free brass, this nipple meets potable water code requirements and provides excellent resistance to dezincification and corrosion in harsh environments.

Material Composition and Standards

Fabricated from lead-free brass conforming to federal and state low-lead mandates, this nipple offers both strength and safety for pressure-rated plumbing systems. Threads are cut to NPT standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fittings, valves, and equipment.

• ✅ Material: Lead-free brass (per NSF/ANSI 372)
• ✅ Length: 6 inches
• ✅ Nominal Pipe Size: 1 inch
• ✅ Thread Type: NPT (ANSI B1.20.1 standard)

Use Cases

Designed for systems requiring threaded connections in potable water, HVAC, or compressed air applications. Commonly installed in risers, manifolds, service lines, and pump connections. Suitable for both above-ground and in-wall use where temperature and pressure demands are within the fitting's rated limits.

Installation Considerations

Threads should be cleaned and properly sealed using PTFE tape or approved pipe dope. Over-torquing should be avoided to prevent thread deformation or damage to mating components. The 6-inch length allows flexibility for vertical or horizontal extensions where rigid pipe spacing is required.

• ✅ Working Pressure: Up to 200 PSI (varies by system)
• ✅ Temperature Range: 0°F to 200°F typical service range
• ✅ Sealant Use: Required for all NPT-threaded installations to prevent leakage

Compliance and Certifications

• Lead-Free: Meets requirements of Safe Drinking Water Act
• NSF Certified: NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water contact
• UPC Listing: Listed for use in systems subject to local code enforcement

The 1 inch x 6 inch Brass Nipple is a reliable, code-compliant solution for extending piping or joining threaded components in professional-grade water and mechanical systems. Its corrosion-resistant construction and precise threading ensure leak-resistant joints in both residential and commercial installations.
