Hi Eduardo, thanks for writing in. This nipple uses standard national pipe thread, and the working pressure for 1/4" is 870 psi at 200 degrees F, or 760 psi at 300 degrees F.
No, Bluefin brand brass nipples are an imported brand.
These are approved for use with gas.
Gas should be in black pipe. Valves should be steel valve
The wall thickness of this nipple is .221".
Neither, it is IPT (iron pipe thread) tapered and specific to pipe connections
Yes, It is lead free.
Brass=Copper&Tin. Where is the lead??? Sent from my iPad
Yes, it is lead free.
Wow, that is a huge nipple. This must not be for a residential application? Any water, hydronic heating or domestic water applications, should be OK. From the posting, I didn't find a link to the product itself. Normally, nipples are the same size on each end.
Hello Learning Guy, I'm guessing you're considering using this fitting on the low pressure side of the coil on the air handler unit since a 1-1/4" pipe on the condensate line would be exceptionally large and plastic piping would work every bit as well and be much more cost effective. Threaded fittings on either the high pressure or low pressure freon lines are absolutely not allowed. Use approved soft copper or hard copper tubing and braze any fittings used (elbows, couplings, etc.). Do not use soft solder. Besides domestic water lines, the fitting you are asking about may be used in propane and natural gas lines. Hope this helps.
Yes, it does.
Contact the manufacturer at; http://www.cello.on.ca/framed.html These appear to be garden-variety brass nipples. What is your application?
The 2" brass close nipple measures 2" long. You'll probably need to use longer 2" nipples to cover that gap.
A standard 2" close nipple is 2" long (coincidence, close nipple length isn't always the nominal diameter). Standard length used up screwing the pipes together for 2" pipe is about 0.75" (5 turns to hand-tight & three more with wrench). For your 5.5" to take up, you'll need 5.5" of pipe plus four joints worth (assuming 2" FIP connections at both ends of your opening and the backflow assembly) at 0.75" each, or 8.5" total. So order any two nipples whose length totals 8.5", like a 3.5" nipple and a 5" nipple. That's long enough you could put a union in. A standard 2" union is 2.75" long, from 5.5" leaves 2.75" pipe length to make up, now with 6 joints at 0.75" each. So you can use a 2" union and any three 2" nipples of length totaling 7.25". Standard nipples come in 1/2" length increments, so you'll have to either push that 18.5" to 18.75" (three 2.5" nipples) or pull it to 18.25" (two 2.5" nipples and one close (2") nipple). Joe
two 2" close nipples would not make the length that you want
No, a nipple has male threads on each end. Buy a nipple of the size you need. 2" is the nominal pipe diameter - which is very large for any residential or even most commercial applications. Can you tell us more about your situation. Does it have to be brass? Might be best to go to any good hardware store and take the assembly you are working with.
No, part TBN-06-64 is only threaded for about 9/16" on each end. There is a gap of close to 3" between the threaded portions of the nipple.
