Merit Brass 2012-850 Schedule 40 Red Brass Seamless Pipe Nipple, 3/4" NPT Male x 8-1/2" Length

This Merit Brass 2012-850 seamless nipple is an 8-1/2" long schedule 40 red brass pipe fitting with 3/4" male NPT threads. The nipple fitting is a short length of pipe with threaded ends for connecting two threaded pipes. It has male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting to female threaded pipes, creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is made from red brass for high strength, better corrosion resistance than stainless steel, and greater ease in machining than yellow brass. This seamless nipple fitting is suitable for handling pressures up to 400 degrees F.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Merit Brass manufactures pipe nipples and distributes pipe, valves, and fittings. The company, founded in 1937 and headquartered in Cleveland, OH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
