Brass pipe nipples are short lengths of brass pipe with male threading on both ends. They are commonly used in plumbing, heating, and industrial applications to connect two female threaded pipes or fittings. Here's a detailed overview of brass pipe nipples:

1. Material: Made from brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and machinability.
2. Threads: Typically have National Pipe Thread (NPT) or British Standard Pipe (BSP) threading, which ensures a secure and leak-proof connection.
3. Length: Available in various lengths, typically ranging from 1 inch to 12 inches or more.
4. Diameter: Come in different diameters, commonly ranging from 1/8 inch to 4 inches or larger.
5. Finish: Often available in a polished or unpolished finish, depending on the application and aesthetic requirements.

1. Plumbing: Used to extend pipe runs, connect different plumbing fixtures, or adapt to different sizes and types of fittings.
2. Heating Systems: Employed in hot water and steam heating systems due to brass’s ability to withstand high temperatures.
3. Industrial Use: Utilized in various industrial processes for conveying liquids, gases, and chemicals.
4. Marine Applications: Suitable for marine environments due to excellent corrosion resistance to saltwater.
