1 Inch Brass Pipe Nipple – Threaded Connection
This 1 inch brass pipe nipple is manufactured for use in a wide range of fluid handling and mechanical systems, including potable water, compressed air, and low-pressure oil or gas service. Fabricated from lead-free brass in compliance with federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements, this nipple offers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in demanding installations.
Product Advantages
- ✔ Corrosion Resistance – Brass composition resists dezincification and scaling in potable and non-potable applications.
- ✔ Lead-Free Compliance – Meets NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 standards for use in drinking water systems.
- ✔ Thread Integrity – Machined NPT male threads per ANSI B1.20.1 ensure secure, leak-resistant connections.
Typical Applications
Commonly used to join two female-threaded pipe fittings in water distribution, HVAC, irrigation, and compressed air systems. Suitable for both commercial and residential plumbing where brass is preferred due to temperature and corrosion requirements.
Specifications
- Material: Lead-free brass (compliant with ASTM B584, Alloy C69300 or equivalent)
- Nominal Size: 1 inch
- Connection: Male NPT x Male NPT
- Length: Typically 2–6 inches; confirm for ordering specification
- Pressure Rating: Dependent on system design and temperature; brass rated to 200 psi @ 73°F (typical)
Installation Guidance
Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape before tightening. Use pipe wrenches on wrench flats or hex features (if available) to prevent deformation. Do not over-torque brass threads. Not for use in systems exceeding material temperature or pressure limitations.
Code Compliance
Suitable for use in systems requiring NSF/ANSI 61 or NSF/ANSI 372 certification. Meets applicable IPC and UPC codes for potable water systems when installed per local regulations.
The 1 inch brass nipple offers a reliable solution for creating rigid threaded pipe connections in new builds and service work. Built to perform under pressure and in varied environments, this component delivers dependable performance where brass is specified.
