Brass Close Nipple — Male x Male NPT, Fully Threaded
The Brass Close Nipple is the shortest pipe nipple made — a stout length of solid brass threaded along its entire body with male NPT (MNPT) connections on both ends. Because it has no unthreaded center section, it joins two female-threaded fittings or valves directly, with almost no gap between them, making it the go-to fitting wherever space is tight.
Key specifications
- Material: solid brass — corrosion-resistant and durable
- Thread: male NPT (MNPT) tapered threads on both ends
- Configuration: close nipple, fully threaded end to end (no unthreaded center)
- Available sizes: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" MNPT
- Connection: joins two female-threaded fittings, valves, or couplings
Typical applications
Ideal for compressed-air lines, air tools, and shop plumbing, as well as water, fuel, natural gas, refrigeration, and low- and high-pressure hydraulic systems. The soft, ductile brass forms a tight, leak-resistant seal and installs easily with standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant.
Whether you are building an air compressor manifold or making a quick fitting-to-fitting connection, this solid brass close nipple delivers a strong, corrosion-resistant joint in a compact MNPT x MNPT package, available in sizes from 1/8" through 3/4".
