Product Details
The Merit Red Brass Seamless Standard Pipe Nipple measures 3/8 x 12 NPT Male and is crafted from seamless red brass pipe, specifically alloy 230. This type of brass nipple is preferred for its superior machinability, reduced brittleness, and enhanced corrosion resistance compared to yellow brass, as it will not dezincify. Brass provides excellent corrosion resistance against water and heat, and it is also resilient against salt water, acids, minerals, and peaty soils in water. It is primarily used for water applications in commercial plumbing and OEM contexts, but it is also suitable for oil, gas, and steam applications.
