1/4″ x 4″ Brass Pipe Nipple – Machined for Durable Threaded Connections
The 1/4″ x 4″ Brass Nipple is a precision-machined fitting designed for secure, threaded pipe connections in a variety of applications. Constructed from high-quality lead-free brass, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for both hot and cold potable water systems, compressed air lines, and low-pressure gas systems.
Product Performance Features
- Lead-Free Brass Material – Complies with national low-lead content regulations for use in potable water distribution.
- Full-Length Thread Engagement – Manufactured with NPT threads for compatibility with standard pipe fittings and components.
- High Machining Precision – Tight dimensional tolerances reduce the risk of misalignment and ensure a secure, leak-resistant connection.
- Pressure and Temperature Tolerance – Suitable for moderate-pressure systems and rated for a wide operating temperature range, commonly from -65°F to 250°F.
Installation Guidelines
Install with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a tight seal. Use standard hand tools and avoid over-torquing, which may compromise the fitting or mating components. This nipple is compatible with brass, copper, or iron pipe systems when installed in accordance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread standards.
