3/8" MNPT Brass Close Nipple (Schedule 40)

This Brass Close Nipple is precision machined and threaded on both ends, allowing two female-threaded components to be joined with minimal exposed length. This fitting is ideal for hydraulic or pneumatic applications requiring a compact, straight connection. Although rated for high steam pressure, its most common use is in connecting instruments and fittings securely within various pump or manifold assemblies.

Key features and benefits include:

• Close Nipple Design: With an overall length of 1 inch, this nipple minimizes the space required for connecting two components.
• Durable Material: Constructed from high-quality Brass (C38500), offering good abrasion, corrosion, high-temperature, and low-temperature resistance.
• High-Pressure Capability: Rated for a maximum steam pressure of 1,200 psi and a maximum operating pressure of 1,200 psi, ensuring reliability in demanding systems.
• Precision Threading: Threaded on both ends with 3/8 inch Male NPT to ensure leak-free connections when secured with PTFE tape.
• Industry Standard: Conforms to Schedule 40 standards and is compatible with Class 125 fittings.

Connection Notes

• Application: Suitable for Air, Natural Gas, Non-Potable Water, Oil, and Steam.
• Sealing: These connections typically require PTFE thread sealant tape to secure the seal.
