Product Details
The Merit chrome plated brass schedule 40 nipple measures 2 x 4-1/2 NPT male and is crafted from seamless red brass pipe, specifically alloy 230. This type of chrome plated red brass nipple is favored for its machinability, reduced brittleness, and superior corrosion resistance compared to yellow brass, as it will not dezincify. Recognized for its good corrosion resistance to water, heat, salt water, acids, minerals, and peaty soils in water, brass is primarily employed in commercial plumbing and OEM applications, along with applications involving oil, gas, and steam. The chrome plated finish not only makes the nipples easy to clean and resistant to dirt and bacteria but also ensures they maintain a shiny appearance. The product complies with relevant industry standards and certifications, making it reliable for various installations.
