Brand assurance: Anderson Metals delivers consistent quality in brass fittings, ensuring a trustworthy component for your piping projects.
Ideal use cases: Connects two 1/8" threaded pipes or fittings in tight mechanical rooms, under sinks, or behind fixtures where longer nipples won’t fit.

Practical tips: Verify matching thread standards (MPT on both ends) before installation, and apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-free seal without over-tightening. The red brass construction helps resist corrosion in everyday piping environments while maintaining a clean, professional appearance in exposed installations.
