Brass Nipple, 1" x Close

Stepping up to a full one-inch line? The Midland Metal Mfg 1" x Close Brass Nipple is the fitting that makes those larger connections tight and tidy. Threaded nearly end to end, it screws two female fittings directly together with virtually no gap between them, the ideal piece for high-flow softener and filter plumbing where space is at a premium and a rigid joint is a must.

Built for bigger lines

One-inch piping moves significantly more water, which matters on higher-capacity water softeners, whole-house filtration systems, and the more demanding residential setups that lean toward commercial flow rates. This close nipple lets you couple a control valve straight to a union or elbow without an awkward stub of pipe in between, keeping the manifold compact and structurally sound. The solid brass body resists the corrosion and mineral scaling that come with continuous exposure to treated water, so the connection stays clean and the threads stay serviceable for years.

It is an especially common companion to one-inch union assemblies, tying the union halves directly into the surrounding plumbing with the shortest possible run, exactly what you want when fittings are stacked close together near a control head.

• 1" NPT size for high-flow service lines
• Close pattern for direct fitting-to-fitting joints
• Corrosion-resistant solid brass construction
• Full-length threading for strong, secure engagement
• Roughly 0.16 lb per piece
• Works with valves, unions, elbows, and adapters

Seal the threads with PTFE tape, thread it home, and snug it down for a compact, dependable connection that handles the demands of a one-inch system. The brass threads engage smoothly and seat reliably, sparing you the slow leaks that plague lesser fittings. A solid, professional-grade component for any installer building or servicing larger water-treatment plumbing, and a smart part to keep stocked for both new installs and repairs.

If the connection ever needs to be opened for service, brass threads back out cleanly instead of seizing the way corroded steel can, keeping future maintenance simple. For one-inch couplings on high-flow softeners, whole-house filters, and bypass assemblies, this close nipple is a dependable, space-saving link worth keeping on the shelf. Keep a couple on hand and you will always have the right one-inch link ready when a high-flow softener or filter manifold needs a clean, compact connection.
