Brass Nipple 1/2" - Male/Male - for Gas Hose Pipe - Warranty 10 Years - MONTERAL

The brass nipple 1/2" with male/male thread is suitable for use with 1/2 inch hose pipe, therefore it is important to ensure that the pipes and other components of the gas system are sized appropriately.    The reducing nipple is made of brass, a strong and corrosion resistant metal, brass is used in gas pipe fittings because of its high resistance to the corrosive properties of natural gas.    The nipple uses a right-hand thread. With right-hand threads, the threads are turned clockwise on the fitting. This means that you must turn the fitting clockwise to tighten it.    This type of fitting is specially designed for gas pipes. It is used to create a secure and tight connection between two sections of gas pipe or between the pipe and a gas appliance such as a cooker or water heater.    To install a nipple, thread sealant or plumber's tape is usually applied to the male threads before screwing into the female fitting or threaded end of the pipe. This creates a tight seal and prevents gas leaks.
