Why this nipple stands out
-
Double-ended MPT threads on both ends (1/8 in. to 1/8 in. MPT) for straightforward inline installation.
-
Red brass construction provides robust strength, dependable torque retention, and solid resistance to corrosion in non-potable environments.
-
2-inch length offers flexible routing and clean alignment in compact piping runs.
-
High-pressure tolerance rated up to 1200 psi, suitable for demanding applications that require a strong, pressure-rated connection.
-
Temperature ceiling of 250°F expands the range of non-potable uses while maintaining integrity under heat.
-
Not intended for potable water use — a clear reminder to pair this nipple with non-potable liquids or gases where appropriate.
-
Compatibility with brass, copper, and iron piping ensures versatile integration into existing systems.
-
ANSI certified for standard conformity and dependable quality.
-
Visible identification red finish helps distinguish non-potable lines in complex systems.
Ideal use cases — when you need a reliable, two-ended connector to extend or join non-potable lines in irrigation setups, compressed-air runs, or heating and cooling loops that don’t carry potable water. The all-brass construction and dual MPT threads make it a straightforward swap-in for metal piping projects where space is tight and a secure threaded seal is essential.
Installation tips for lasting performance — use an NPT-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for metal threads, and apply with controlled torque to avoid over-tightening. Ensure clean, undamaged threads before assembly, and routinely inspect for signs of wear or leakage in high-pressure environments. With its durable red brass profile, this nipple maintains a solid, long-lasting seal even after repeated assembly and disassembly.
Choose the Anderson Metals 1/8 in. MPT to 1/8 in. MPT Red Brass Nipple, 2 in. long, when you demand a precise, dependable connection that stands up to high pressure and heat, while clearly signaling non-potable usage. It’s a purpose-built solution for professionals who value build quality, compatibility, and clarity in their piping systems.
