Value Brand 3/4" MNPT x 3" TBE Red Brass Pipe Nipple Sch 40

3/4" Red Brass Nipple for Schedule 40 Systems

This 3-inch nipple connects 3/4-inch NPT male threads in air, natural gas, oil, potable water and steam lines. Seamless red brass construction meets ASTM B43 grade and Class 150 fitting compatibility for reliable service in residential and light commercial plumbing. The fitting operates from -20 to 400 degrees F across the stated media.

Pressure and Temperature Performance Under

Rated at 240 psi maximum operating pressure at 450 degrees F and 953 psi steam pressure at 300 degrees F, the nipple maintains integrity during sustained high-temperature steam or fluid flow. Seamless metal pipe construction eliminates weld seams that could weaken under prolonged thermal cycling and pressure variation in constant-duty installations.

Class 150 Fitting Limits and Material Constraints

The Class 150 compatibility defines the pressure-temperature envelope for this 3/4-inch nominal pipe size, limiting use to the stated 240 psi at 450 degrees F ceiling. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the red brass alloy contains chemicals identified by the state as causing cancer and reproductive harm, a factor for potable water specifiers.
