Boshart NIPCH38X212NL 3/8" x 2-1/2" Chrome-Plated Nipple

The Boshart NIPCH38X212NL is a 3/8" x 2-1/2" chrome-plated nipple built for plumbers and contractors who need a threaded connector for exposed or semi-exposed supply and drain applications where a polished, corrosion-resistant finish is required. This short piece is threaded on both ends to join fittings, valves, or stops at a fixed 2-1/2" overall length, giving installers a reliable way to extend or connect threaded plumbing components behind or in front of the wall. The chrome finish provides a clean, durable exterior surface that resists tarnishing better than an unfinished pipe nipple, making it a practical choice anywhere a visible threaded connection needs to look finished as well as function correctly.
