Important Notice: This fitting is NOT approved for use in potable (drinking) water systems. It is intended for use with compressed air, natural gas, propane, fuel oil, and non-potable water applications only. Red brass pipe nipples are commonly used in pneumatic systems, gas lines, hydraulic systems, and industrial plumbing where potable water approval is not required.

Installation is straightforward using standard pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure leak-free connections. The brass construction provides long-lasting performance and resistance to dezincification in demanding environments.
