Product Identity
The Legend Valve 311-153 is a 1-1/2" x 9" no-lead red brass nipple designed for plumbing manifolds and valve assemblies. It suits installers and maintenance crews who need a compliant, corrosion-resistant connector for potable water or hydronic systems.
Ideal Use Cases
This fitting works for professionals joining two female-threaded components in a straight line where a 9-inch centre-to-centre span is required. Buyers who need a different thread diameter, a shorter or longer reach, or a material other than red brass should look at alternative fittings.
Installation Notes
Thread the nipple into the mating ports using appropriate pipe sealant or tape for the thread standard in use. The most common issue is cross-threading or over-tightening, which can damage the brass threads and cause leaks.

Questions about this item
What pipe size and threading does the 311-153 nipple need to connect to?
The nipple has 1-1/2" NPT threads on both ends, so it requires matching 1-1/2" female NPT fittings or pipe couplings to join two sections of pipe.
Will the no-lead red brass nipple corrode when installed next to older standard brass valves?
Red brass resists dezincification better than yellow brass, so it will not galvanically attack standard brass valves in potable water systems.
How can I verify the 311-153 nipple is seated correctly after threading it into the manifold?
After hand-tight plus one to two wrench turns, pressure-test the joint; no leaks at the threads confirm a proper seal.
