Brass Nipple Fitting Fitting SF52-3/4x20 — 3/4" BSP x 20 mm, solid brass

Brass nipple fitting Fitting SF52-3/4x20 is a compact solid brass connector with 3/4" BSP male threads and a 20 mm overall length. It is designed to join two female-threaded pipes or fittings in plumbing and fluid systems. The fitting is suitable for potable water and heating installations, as well as general domestic and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant and reliable threaded connection is required.

Advantages

The solid brass construction provides good corrosion resistance and durability in contact with water and common heating fluids. Standard 3/4" BSP threads ensure compatibility with widely used plumbing fittings and fixtures. Its short length allows connections in confined spaces and reduces protrusion inside piping runs. The uncoated brass surface is machinable and can be sealed with common thread sealants or tape for leak-free joints.

Suitable for

• Joining two female 3/4" BSP threaded pipes or fittings
• Potable water supply lines
• Domestic heating circuits and radiators
• Light commercial plumbing installations
• Situations requiring compact threaded connectors in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Material: solid brass
• Thread type: 3/4" BSP male on both ends
• Overall length: 20 mm
• Connection style: straight nipple (male-to-male)
• Typical uses: potable water, heating, general plumbing

How to use

Prepare mating female threads by cleaning and, if required, applying a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads. Hand-start the nipple into the first female fitting to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with an appropriate wrench until a secure, leak-free joint is achieved. Repeat the process for the second connection. Avoid excessive torque to prevent thread damage or deformation of the brass body. Inspect the assembled connection under pressure to confirm sealing.

Usage recommendations

For potable water systems, use thread sealants approved for drinking water. Avoid exposure to highly acidic or alkaline fluids that may accelerate dezincification. In high-temperature or high-pressure heating systems consult system specifications to ensure the brass nipple meets operating conditions.
