Western Enterprises BN-8-35HP 1/2 Inch NPT Brass Nipple 3.5 Inch Length

Durable Brass Nipple for Heavy-Duty Welding and Piping Applications

When it comes to maintaining your shop's air lines, gas manifolds, or fluid systems, having the right fittings on hand is the difference between a quick repair and a long downtime. The Western Enterprises BN-8-35HP Brass Pipe Nipple is a professional-grade fitting built to handle the tough conditions of welding shops and industrial facilities. With a 1/2-inch NPT connection and a 3-1/2 inch length, it is a versatile component for connecting regulators, extending outlets, or joining female pipe sections.

One of the standout features of this nipple is its impressive pressure rating. Capable of withstanding up to 3,000 psig, it is engineered for high-pressure service. This makes it an excellent choice for cylinder discharge manifolds, high-pressure air lines, and other systems where standard plumbing fittings might fail. The brass construction not only provides the necessary strength to contain these pressures but also offers superior durability compared to plastics or lower-grade metals. Brass is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring that the fitting remains easy to remove or service even after years of use in humid or harsh shop environments.

The 1/2-inch NPT male threads are precision-machined to engage smoothly with valves, couplers, and other fittings. The 3-1/2 inch length is particularly useful when you need to bridge a gap between a wall mount and a regulator or when spacing out drops on a main header line. Its substantial wall thickness adds to its ruggedness, preventing deformation during installation. Simply apply a quality thread sealant, tighten it down, and you have a secure connection ready for work.

Keep your systems running leak-free and safe with high-quality brass fittings designed for the trade.
