IBP brass nipple 28 x 3/4 in — plumbing fitting, model 4243G028006000

IBP brass nipple 28 x 3/4 in is a short, threaded plumbing fitting made of brass, intended for joining pipes or fittings with 3/4-inch female threads. The fitting combines a metric outside diameter with an imperial thread size as marked, and its brass construction provides corrosion resistance appropriate for potable water and general plumbing systems. It is compact and designed for straightforward installation where a short, rigid connector is required.

Advantages

The brass construction offers good corrosion resistance and durability in contact with water. Threaded ends allow a reliable mechanical connection without soldering or welding. Its compact length makes it suitable for tight spaces and simple pipe extensions or repairs. The material and finish support long-term use in domestic and commercial plumbing environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting or extending pipes with 3/4-inch female threads
• Repairs of domestic hot and cold water systems
• Compact connector points in tight installations
• Temporary or permanent mechanical pipe joins where brazing is not desired

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Overall dimension: 28 mm outside diameter (metric/imperial marking)
• Thread size: 3/4-inch threaded ends (female mating)
• Type: short nipple / rigid connector
• Intended medium: potable water and general plumbing fluids

How to use

Apply an appropriate thread sealant (PTFE tape or pipe joint compound compatible with potable water) to the male threads of the mating fitting, then hand-start the nipple into the female thread. Tighten with a suitable wrench until a firm, leak-free connection is achieved; avoid excessive force that could damage threads or deform the fitting. Follow local plumbing codes and shut off water supply before installation. Inspect the assembled joint for leaks after restoring pressure.

Usage recommendations

Use standard PTFE tape or approved pipe sealant for potable water installations and choose an appropriately sized wrench to prevent marring the brass surface. For systems under pressure or where vibration is present, verify compatibility of the brass fitting with the rest of the installation and perform a pressure test after assembly.
