A six inch red brass pipe nipple with threaded ends

Value Brand

Value Brand 468-060XGR 2" MNPT x 6" Red Brass Nipple Sch 80

SKU CH-8J8H-VVF24

A 2-inch red brass Schedule 80 nipple with 6-inch length and MNPT threads for air, gas, oil, water and steam up to 157 psi at 450 °F

  • Handles 157 psi at 450 °F for demanding steam service
  • Red brass construction resists dezincification in potable water systems
  • Seamless pipe eliminates weld-leak paths for reliable long-term sealing
  • Rated to 625 psi steam at 300 °F for high-pressure boiler connections
  • Operates from -20 °F to 400 °F covering wide thermal cycles

Application Scope

This red brass pipe nipple is built for air, natural gas, oil, potable water and steam systems. It meets Class 300 fitting compatibility and suits installations that demand seamless metal construction and a 2-inch nominal pipe size.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

The nipple handles a maximum operating pressure of 157 psi at 450 degrees F and a maximum steam pressure of 625 psi at 300 degrees F. It operates from -20 degrees F up to 400 degrees F, giving wide headroom for hot-water and steam lines.

Sizing Constraints

The 6-inch overall length with 2-inch inside diameter and 2 3/8-inch outside diameter fits standard 2-inch NPT threads. It is not suited for gravity-flow arrangements or for systems that require a longer nipple or a different nominal size.

Questions about this item

How often will the 2" MNPT threads need re-sealing under daily steam service?

The seamless red brass nipple is rated for 625 psi steam at 300 °F; inspect threads annually and re-apply thread sealant only if leaks appear.

What pressure limit is reached first during continuous 400 °F water flow?

The maximum operating pressure drops to 157 psi at 450 °F, so that is the limiting figure for sustained high-temperature use.

How hot does the 6" nipple surface get when carrying 300 °F steam all day?

At the 625 psi steam rating the metal will approach the 300 °F steam temperature; external insulation is recommended for personnel protection.
