3/4 inch x 6 inch Brass Nipple

3/4" x 6" Lead-Free Brass Pipe Nipple – Built for Code-Compliant Performance

The 3/4" x 6" Brass Pipe Nipple is manufactured from lead-free brass and is designed for use in potable water, air, oil, and gas applications. This fitting features NPT (National Pipe Thread) male threads on both ends and delivers reliable, corrosion-resistant performance across a wide range of systems.

Constructed to meet ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 specifications, this brass nipple offers consistent wall thickness and uniform threading, making it suitable for pressurized environments and long-term installations where mechanical durability is critical.

Key Performance Advantages

• ✅ Lead-Free Brass Composition – Compliant with Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements for potable systems.
• ✅ Corrosion Resistance – Brass resists dezincification and maintains integrity in a variety of fluid and gas applications.
• ✅ Precision Threading – Cut to tight tolerances for secure mating with other NPT components, reducing the risk of joint failure.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 3/4 inch
• Length: 6 inches
• Material: Lead-free brass (compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 and 372)
• Thread Type: Male NPT on both ends
• Standards: ANSI/ASME B1.20.1, ASTM B687/B16/B43

Common Use Cases

This nipple is routinely used in residential and light commercial plumbing to extend pipe runs, bridge gaps between fittings, or connect valves and appliances. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it particularly well-suited for hot and cold water systems, compressed air lines, and low-pressure fuel or oil circuits.

Installation Considerations

Installation should be performed using standard threading practices. Always apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure leak-free joints. Tighten with an appropriate pipe wrench, taking care not to overtighten and compromise the threads or mating component.

Did You Know?

Federal law mandates the use of lead-free components in drinking water systems. Brass fittings with a weighted lead content of less than 0.25% are recognized as compliant across all U.S. jurisdictions under the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act.

Designed for strength, longevity, and code compliance, the 3/4" x 6" Lead-Free Brass Nipple is a trusted choice for professionals seeking dependable performance across diverse system types. Whether for new construction or system upgrades, it delivers the consistent reliability that job sites demand.
