Product Details
The Merit chrome plated brass schedule 40 nipple measures 1/2 x 5-1/2 inches with NPT male threads. These nipples are constructed from seamless red brass pipe, specifically alloy 230, which provides enhanced machining capabilities, reduced brittleness, and superior corrosion resistance compared to yellow brass, eliminating the risk of dezincification. The brass material offers good corrosion resistance to water and heat, and withstands exposure to salt water, acids, minerals, and peaty soils found in water. While primarily used for water in commercial plumbing and OEM applications, this material is also suitable for oil, gas, and steam applications. The chrome plated finish on these brass nipples makes them easy to clean, reduces the accumulation of dirt and bacteria, and helps maintain a shiny appearance. The product includes a warranty, demonstrating its reliability and quality assurance for users.
