3/4 inch x 2-1/2 inch Brass Nipple

3/4" x 2-1/2" Brass Pipe Nipple – Lead-Free, Threaded Ends

This 3/4" x 2-1/2" brass nipple is designed for use in potable water, hydraulic, and general utility systems requiring a short, rigid threaded connection between two female-threaded components. Fabricated from lead-free brass, the fitting is corrosion-resistant and compliant with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) regulations.

Performance Features

• ✅ Material: Lead-free brass, compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 for use in potable water systems.
• ✅ Threaded Connections: NPT male threads on both ends conforming to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for tapered pipe threads.
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Suitable for use in systems operating up to 1,200 PSI (non-shock, water, oil, or air service).
• ✅ Temperature Range: Functional between -65°F and 250°F (subject to application and sealant compatibility).
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance: Brass composition resists dezincification and internal scaling under typical service conditions.

Typical Applications

Commonly used in commercial and residential water distribution, compressed air networks, gas piping (where brass is code-approved), and process control systems. The short length allows for compact installations in confined spaces and easy integration into existing piping networks.

Installation Guidelines

Before installation, apply PTFE thread sealant or approved pipe dope to male threads. Engage threads by hand, then wrench-tighten without over-torquing to avoid cracking female fittings or distorting threads. Always verify that mating components are compatible in terms of pressure rating and metallurgy.

Specifications Summary

• Nominal Size: 3/4 inch NPT x 2-1/2 inch length
• End Connections: Male NPT x Male NPT
• Material: Lead-free brass (<0.25% lead content)
• Standards: ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, NSF/ANSI 61, NSF/ANSI 372, SDWA compliant

Note

Brass pipe nipples are commonly selected over steel for systems involving potable water or where corrosion resistance and temperature tolerance are required. Use of lead-free brass is mandated in all U.S. jurisdictions for drinking water applications.

This brass nipple provides a robust, code-compliant solution for professional-grade plumbing assemblies where reliability, corrosion resistance, and precision are critical.
