Brass Pipe Fitting - Long Nipple, 1/4 x 1/4 Male Pipe, 2 Length

Anderson Metals manufactures brass long nipple pipe fittings with male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connections for connecting two threaded pipes. These fittings are longer than standard nipples and are designed with threaded ends for a secure connection. The use of male NPT threads ensures a tighter seal when connecting to female threaded pipes.

Made of brass, these fittings offer corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. They can be connected to a variety of materials such as copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The operating temperatures for these fittings range from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F) and meet ASTM B584 and ASME/ANSI B16 specifications for quality assurance.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. Considerations such as application, material type, shape, size, and durability are important when selecting pipe fittings. They are available in threaded or unthreaded options, with various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules based on pipe wall thickness.

Anderson Metals, established in 1951 and based in Kansas City, MO, specializes in manufacturing brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. While these long nipple fittings offer excellent performance, it is essential to note that they contain lead and are not suitable for potable water use as per federal regulations in the U.S.A. and its territories.
