1/2" x 5" Chrome Nipple

The Legend Valve 311-068CNL is a no-lead chrome-plated brass pipe nipple designed for plumbing installations. It serves as a short connector between two female-threaded fittings in water supply lines. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance for exposed piping. This component is suited for residential and commercial plumbing repairs or new installations.

No-lead brass upgrade

This nipple replaces older brass fittings that may contain higher lead levels, helping systems meet modern no-lead requirements. The jump is worth it when local codes mandate lead-free components for potable water lines. It fits standard 1/2 inch NPT threads without special tools. Installers can thread it directly into existing elbows, tees, or valves during service work.

Five-inch reach for tight runs

The 5 inch length bridges gaps between fittings in confined spaces such as wall cavities or under sinks. It handles typical residential water pressures and temperatures for hot and cold distribution. The solid brass body resists cracking under normal mechanical stress. Runs requiring longer spans or different diameters will need additional nipples or couplings.

Questions about this item

What thread size and length does the 311-068CNL nipple need to match?

It has a 1/2 inch thread size and a 5 inch length, so the mating fittings must accept those dimensions.

How is the chrome-plated brass nipple installed without damaging the finish?

Wrap the threads with PTFE tape or pipe dope, then tighten with a smooth-jaw wrench to avoid marring the chrome surface.

When should the 311-068CNL nipple be replaced in a plumbing system?

Replace it if the chrome plating shows pitting, the threads are stripped, or the brass body develops leaks or corrosion.
