OVERVIEW

Reliable Connections for Your Welding Setup

When you are setting up a gas manifold or repairing a regulator, the quality of your fittings determines the safety and efficiency of your entire rig. This 1/4" NPT Brass Nipple (7/8" length) is the unsung hero of many welding carts and shop piping systems. Designed to connect two female 1/4" NPT fittings, this short nipple is perfect for joining components closely together without adding unnecessary bulk to your equipment. Whether you are a TIG welder needing precise gas flow or a fabricator running heavy-duty oxy-fuel cutting torches, ensuring your connections are solid is the first step to a perfect weld.

Why choose brass? In the welding world, brass is the gold standard for gas fittings for good reason. It doesn't rust like steel, meaning your gas flow remains pure and unobstructed by particulate matter that could clog sensitive valves or torch tips. More importantly, brass is soft enough to create a tight metal-to-metal seal when tightened (though we always recommend a little Teflon tape for gas), yet hard enough to withstand the high pressures of oxygen and shielding gas cylinders. Its non-sparking nature adds an extra layer of safety when you are working around combustible materials.

This specific nipple measures just 7/8 of an inch long, making it effectively a "close" nipple or very short nipple. This is incredibly useful when you need to daisy-chain regulators, add a gauge to a manifold block, or adapt a hose connection in a confined space. Don't let a leaky or corroded fitting ruin your shield gas coverage or waste expensive consumables. Upgrade your fittings with this durable ESAB brass nipple and weld with confidence, knowing your gas delivery system is secure.

Common Applications in the Shop:

  • Connecting flowmeters to regulators.
  • Building custom gas distribution manifolds.
  • Adapting air compressor lines and pneumatic tools.
  • Repairing damaged threads on equipment inputs/outputs.
  • Linking solenoid valves in automated welding systems.

FAQ

This nipple features 1/4" NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on both ends.

It is manufactured from solid brass, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

The total length of the nipple is 7/8 of an inch.

Brass is generally suitable for oxygen service, but all fittings must be free of oil and grease before use with oxygen to prevent combustion hazards.

Yes, for gas applications, it is recommended to use PTFE tape or an appropriate pipe thread sealant to ensure a leak-free seal.

At 7/8" length, this is very close to a standard close nipple size for 1/4" pipe, allowing for very tight connections between fittings.

While specific ratings depend on the wall thickness and temperature, standard brass pipe fittings are typically rated for pressures well exceeding standard welding gas cylinder output pressures (up to 3000 PSI depending on the schedule, though usually used on the low-pressure side).

No, brass is resistant to rust, making it ideal for environments where moisture or condensation might be present.
