Lead-Free Chrome Nipple

The Legend Valve 311-074CNL is a 1/2 inch by 10 inch chrome-plated brass pipe nipple manufactured with no-lead material. It serves as a standard connector for joining two female-threaded fittings in potable water supply lines. The transparent finish indicates the chrome plating over the brass substrate.

Replaces Leaded Brass Nipples

This component upgrades older installations that used traditional brass nipples containing lead. The jump is worth it when local codes or health guidelines require lead-free certification for drinking water systems. It satisfies the requirement for no-lead content in new construction or retrofit projects.

Threaded Brass Limits

The nipple relies on standard NPT threads which create a seal through thread deformation and sealant tape or compound. Over-tightening can crack the fitting or strip the threads, particularly on the thinner wrench flats. The chrome plating resists surface corrosion but does not prevent galvanic action if connected to dissimilar metals without a dielectric union. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content in the brass alloy.
