Brass Nipple, 1/4" x 6"

Need a little more reach than a close or short nipple offers? The Midland Metal Mfg 1/4" x 6" Brass Nipple delivers six full inches of solid-brass pipe with male NPT threads on each end, making it a versatile extension piece for water-treatment and general plumbing assemblies. That extra length turns awkward, cramped connections into clean, accessible ones.

The added run is genuinely useful in a number of common situations: spanning the gap between a control valve and a downstream fitting, routing a pressure gauge or sensor away from a crowded manifold for easier reading, or extending a small brine or drain line out to a spot where it can be serviced without contortions. Because the body is brass, it shrugs off the corrosion and mineral attack that come with constant exposure to softened, chlorinated, or otherwise treated water.

Built for treated-water service

In a system that runs around the clock, fittings live in a perpetually damp environment. Brass resists rust and pitting in those conditions, which keeps narrow 1/4-inch passages clear and protects the integrity of the joint over years of service rather than months.

• Long 6-inch run for spanning gaps and reaching recessed fittings
• Solid brass construction for long service life in wet environments
• 1/4" NPT male threads on both ends
• Resists rust, scale, and chlorinated-water corrosion
• Weighs roughly 0.21 lb each
• Pairs cleanly with elbows, tees, valves, and gauges

This nipple threads easily and seals well with standard thread sealant, so you get a tidy, dependable joint without fuss or repeated rework. It is a smart part to keep on hand for anyone maintaining softeners, cartridge filters, or small process-water lines where a 1/4-inch connection simply needs to travel a bit farther than a stock close nipple allows. Reliable, well-machined, and ready for the job, it is a practical upgrade over short fittings whenever reach matters.

If you ever need to disassemble the line later, brass threads back out cleanly rather than seizing the way corroded steel does, so future service stays simple. With its generous reach and rugged construction, this fitting earns its place in any well-stocked toolbox for water-treatment maintenance and repair work.
