Merit Brass – 2008-200 Red Brass Pipe Fitting, Nipple, Schedule 40 Seamless, 1/2" National Pipe Taper Thread Male x 2" Length (Pack of 25)
Description
The Merit Brass nipple is a seamless schedule 40 red brass pipe fitting with
male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting and extending female
threaded pipes. The fitting has NPT threads for creating tighter seals than
straight threads. Made of red brass, this schedule 40 seamless nipple is
easier to clean than regular brass and more corrosion resistant than stainless
steel. Seamless pipe is produced from a solid piece of metal that is heated
and moved over a form until the steel is shaped into a hollow tube. It can
withstand pressure better than ductile or welded pipes. The nipple meets
standard NSF/ANSI 61 for use with drinking water supplies of pH 6.5 and higher
and ASTM B-687 for quality assurance. Pipe fittings are components used for
connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of
piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider
the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required
durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes,
styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Merit Brass manufactures
pipe nipples following ISO 9001 standards for quality assurance. Family-owned
since 1937, the company is based in Cleveland, OH. Merit Brass distributes
pipe fittings to the United States and Canada.
