Red Brass Pipe Fitting, Close Nipple, 2 NPT Male

Anderson Metals manufactures close nipple pipe fittings made of red brass with male NPT threaded connections. These fittings are designed to create a snug fit between connecting pipes, ensuring a tight seal. Red brass is used for its high strength, superior corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel, and ease of machining over yellow brass.

Operating temperatures for these fittings range from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F), meeting ASTM B584 and ASME/ANSI B16 specifications for quality assurance. It is important to note that these fittings contain lead and are not approved for use in potable water systems in the U.S.A. and its territories due to federal regulations.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in various industries by connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping. When selecting pipe fittings, it is essential to consider the application, material type, shape, size, and required durability to ensure optimal performance.

Anderson Metals, founded in 1951 and based in Kansas City, MO, specializes in manufacturing brass fittings, valves, and pipe nipples. Their close nipple fittings with male NPT threads offer reliability, durability, and efficient performance in a wide range of applications.
