- The relative softness of brass ensures a tight seal and easy installation and can be used interchangeably with copper where heavier walls are required.
- Red Brass nipples are less brittle, easier to work with and far more resistant to corrosion than yellow brass.
- All brass nipples conform to specification ASTM B687-88.
- Nipples are threaded with American standard taper pipe threads (NPT) in accordance with screw-threaded standard to Federal services handbook H-28
