Q:MIP is not tapered. So, is it MIP or NPT?
by|Feb 3, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Hello, it is not either or. This mail iron pipe (MIP - actually brass) does use national pipe threads (NPT). It's just not tapered. Both MIP and FIP use NPT. So, they are compatible.

by|Feb 9, 2023

    A:  It is a male version of nominal pipe thread also known as MNPT which means Male Nominal Pipe Thread. Additionally, there are several photographs and line drawings on the site to assist in ensuring that the connection being attempted is possible with this item.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Yes, the Everbilt 3/4in. x 2in. MIP Brass Nipple Fitting can be used with galvanized piping. Depending on your local codes an additional dielectric union may be required. Please consult a local licensed plumber to verify code compliance for your exact situation.

        by|Jan 4, 2022

          A:  If the threads are NPT then it can be screwed into same size galvanized, however dissimilar metals may cause accelerated corrosion

          by|Oct 15, 2022

            A:  Junior, Yes. My suggestion would be to make three wraps with Teflon tape AND with plumbers dope. Good luck!

              Answer This Question

              A:  Not being able to see your installation location, I would suggest screwing a copper or brass threaded to sweat style adapter fitting that would then allow you to install a sweat style valve. Remove the valve stem assembly before heating the valve to solder the adapter and copper pipe extension to the valve. Also, apply ample Teflon pipe tape to the male threads.

              by|Apr 18, 2021

              A:  It is possible to tighten both sides of the 3/4 in. x 3 in. MIP Brass Nipple Fitting at once but it is not recommended because it would be difficult to get both sides tight enough to not leak. We recommend tightening the ends one at a time, so another method would be needed to attach the valve to the pipe nipple if the valve cannot rotate.

                Used to add a water pressure gauge to a well pump. Needed it offset from the main line so I could see/ monitor the readings. The threads on the two (2) ends of the pipe nipple have a different number of turns (!?!). So, the male end with more turns leaked a little. Did not want to crank down more on the female connection so more Teflon tape improved the situation; leak is tolerable but not completely fixed.. Will have to go back to Home Depot for another one on my next trip there. Will pay more attention to this possible defect when purchasing.

                I purchased 2 of these brass nipples, and one of them leaked through the threads. After inspecting I found 2 gouges inside of the nipple which was deep enough to cut through the threads. Home Depot made things right by swapping it out for a new one, but it still cost time and labor.

                Natural gas is normally run through an iron pipe, but when plumbing an outdoor grill, iron rusts (even if painted). So where it is visible, switch to this brass pipe, and the installation will look great for many years.
