21062 - 1/2 Inch NPT x 8 Inch Long Brass Pipe Nipple

High-Quality Brass Pipe Nipple for Industrial Applications

The 1/2" x 8" Brass Pipe Nipple is an essential component for a wide range of industrial plumbing, gas distribution, and fluid transfer systems. Manufactured from premium-grade solid brass, this nipple is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use while providing a reliable, leak-free connection. Its 8-inch length makes it particularly useful for bridging gaps in manifold assemblies, extending regulator connections, or creating custom spacing in piping layouts where standard short nipples are insufficient.

Superior Material Properties

Brass is the material of choice for many industrial applications due to its unique combination of properties. Unlike carbon steel, brass is highly resistant to corrosion from water, moisture, and many industrial chemicals. This ensures that the nipple will not rust or degrade over time, maintaining the integrity of your piping system and preventing leaks that could lead to costly downtime or safety hazards. Furthermore, brass is a non-magnetic and non-sparking material, which is a critical safety feature when working in environments with flammable gases or vapors.

Precision Engineering

Each nipple features precision-machined 1/2-inch National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends. The tapered design of NPT threads allows them to form a tight mechanical seal by compressing the flanks of the threads as they are tightened. When used with an appropriate thread sealant, such as Teflon tape or pipe dope, these connections are capable of holding significant pressure without leaking. The threads are cut to strict tolerances to ensure compatibility with all standard 1/2-inch NPT fittings, valves, and regulators.

Versatile Utility

Whether you are assembling a new gas manifold, repairing a pneumatic line, or setting up a water cooling system for welding equipment, this 8-inch brass nipple provides the versatility you need. It is suitable for use with a variety of media, including compressed air, inert gases, water, and oil. Its robust construction ensures it can handle the mechanical stresses of installation and operation, making it a dependable choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals.
