Brass Fittings 40068 Red Brass Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inch x 5 Inch

The Brass Fittings 40068 is a 1/2 inch x 5 inch red brass pipe nipple designed for non-potable water plumbing applications. This close nipple features male NPT (National Pipe Thread) connections on both ends for secure threaded connections in residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems.

Key Features:

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• 1/2 inch NPT male threads on both ends
• 5 inch overall length for extended reach applications
• Ideal for natural gas, LP gas, fuel oil, compressed air, and HVAC systems
• Meets ASTM B43 standards for seamless red brass pipe

Important Notice: This red brass pipe nipple is NOT approved for potable water systems. Use only in non-potable applications such as heating systems, fuel lines, compressed air distribution, and industrial process piping.

Red brass fittings offer excellent machinability and corrosion resistance in most environments. The 5-inch length makes this nipple suitable for applications requiring extended spacing between fittings or where pipe runs need to clear obstacles.
