1/8 NPT Brass Pipe Nipples

Brass pipe nipples connect two threaded fittings, valves, or pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC, oil and gas, chemical processing, and manufacturing systems. Their corrosion resistance and durability make them well-suited for fluid transport applications where a short, threaded connector is needed between components.

A close nipple has threads running almost its entire length with no unthreaded shoulder in the middle, used for tight-space connections. A standard nipple includes a short unthreaded section between the two threaded ends, providing added strength and allowing for easier installation in less confined spaces.

Yes, 1/8 NPT brass pipe nipples follow standard NPT threading, allowing them to connect with steel, stainless steel, PVC, and other materials that use the same thread standard, provided proper thread sealant or tape is applied to prevent leaks and galvanic corrosion where dissimilar metals meet.

Brass offers excellent corrosion resistance, good machinability, and reliable performance in low to moderate pressure and temperature applications, making it a cost-effective choice for plumbing and general industrial use. Stainless steel and aluminum variants are better suited for higher corrosion or weight-sensitive requirements.

Merit Brass pipe nipples are manufactured to standard industry pipe nipple dimensions and threading norms. Specific regulatory certifications such as NSF or ASTM should be confirmed directly with the manufacturer or Spicer & Sandburg, as compliance documentation may vary by application and specification requirements.
