Yes.
Left and right nipple and coupling / union / TP coupling
If the brass threaded nipple is a male end and the PVC side is a female end, wrapping thread tape around the nipple and then screwing it into the female PVC end will provide a secure and watertight connection.
Yes, you can either solder them or fit mechanical (threaded) fittings.
A hex nipple is a type of plumbing fitting characterized by its hexagonal shape and threaded ends, allowing it to connect two pipes or fittings. It typically features male threads on both ends, providing a secure connection for various plumbing applications. The hexagonal shape allows for easy tightening with a wrench, ensuring a tight seal. Hex nipples are commonly made from materials like brass, stainless steel, or PVC, depending on the specific use case.
Yes, as long as there is a mechanical connection , ie threaded. You cannot glue them to each other.
no
A short-shanked nipple is a type of fitting used in plumbing and piping systems, characterized by a shorter threaded section (or "shank") compared to standard nipples. It connects two pieces of pipe or equipment, allowing for a more compact installation where space is limited. These nipples are typically made from materials like brass, stainless steel, or plastic, depending on the application and required durability. Their design facilitates easy assembly and disassembly in various plumbing applications.
Any Spyder threaded barrels.
Yes! The best copper-to-galvanized connection is made using a brass nipple in between the two dissimilar metals. The nipple should be a minimum of 2 1/2" long (preferably six inches long). Bronze is an alloy (copper + tin). Brass is an alloy (copper + zinc).
Brass, bronze and stainless steel are alloys. Tin is a metal / an element.
stainless steel
A typical brass screw is a threaded rod with a head. It is not a slot at all.
