Brass Fittings 40020 1/4 Inch Close Red Brass Pipe Nipple

The Brass Fittings 40020 is a close pipe nipple manufactured from red brass, designed for connecting two female threaded pipes or fittings in tight spaces. This 1/4 inch nipple features a close pattern (shortest length available), making it ideal for applications where space is limited and a direct connection is needed.

Key Features:

• Red brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability
• 1/4 inch NPT male threads on both ends for secure connections
• Close length design minimizes overall fitting footprint
• Suitable for low-pressure plumbing, HVAC, compressed air, and general industrial applications
• NOT approved for potable water systems

Red brass pipe nipples are commonly used in gas lines, fuel systems, pneumatic applications, and non-potable water installations. The close pattern provides the shortest possible connection between two fittings, making it perfect for manifolds, valve assemblies, and confined installations where every inch matters.
