Abstract
This specification establishes the requirements for brass and copper pipe nipples within a specified size range. Chromium-plated pipe nipples covered by this specification are intended for use in the interior of decorative appliances. Both brass and copper pipe nipples should be produced from regular or extra strong pipes while chromium-plated pipe nipples are produced from regular weight brass pipes. All pipe nipples should be threaded in both ends with NPT Taper Pipe Threads except for close nipples with lengths shorter than the specified value. Threads should be right hand on both ends except when otherwise specified. Chromium plated nipples use short plumbing (hospital) threads. Pipe nipple ends shall be cut reasonable square to the central axis and chamfered on the outside with all outside burrs removed.
Scope
1.1 This specification establishes the requirements for brass and copper pipe nipples in standard pipe sizes from 1/8 to 8 in., inclusive, in standard lengths, and chromium-plated pipe nipples in standard pipe sizes from 1/8 to 2 in., inclusive, in standard lengths.
1.1.1 Chromium-plated pipe nipples ordered under this specification are intended for interior use in decorative applications.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
