Product Details
The Merit Red Brass Seamless Standard Pipe Nipple measures 3/8 x 5-1/2 NPT Male and is produced from seamless red brass pipe, specifically alloy 230. This type of brass nipple is advantageous due to its machinability, reduced brittleness during fabrication, and superior corrosion resistance compared to yellow brass, as it will not dezincify. The alloy provides good corrosion resistance against water and heat, and it effectively resists attacks from salt water, acids, minerals, and peaty soils present in water. While primarily used for water in commercial plumbing and OEM applications, red brass is also suitable for oil, gas, and steam applications. The product typically carries applicable certifications and complies with relevant industry standards. Warranty information is available upon request.
