Product Details
The Merit Chrome Plated Brass Schedule 40 Nipple measures 3/8 x 7-1/2 inches and features NPT male threading. Constructed from seamless red brass pipe, specifically Alloy 230, these chrome plated nipples provide superior machinability and reduced brittleness compared to yellow brass, while also exhibiting enhanced resistance to corrosion and dezincification. Brass is recognized for its good corrosion resistance from water and heat and its ability to withstand attacks from salt water, acids, and minerals, as well as peaty soils in water. This material is primarily used in commercial plumbing and OEM applications but is also suitable for oil, gas, and steam applications. The chrome plating not only ensures easy cleaning but also helps prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria, maintaining a shiny finish over time. The product carries a warranty in accordance with the manufacturer's terms.
