Sioux Chief 600-212 1/2" x 12" Copper Pipe Nipple

Sioux Chief 600-212 1/2" x 12" Copper Pipe Nipple

The Sioux Chief 600-212 is a 1/2" x 12" copper pipe nipple built for rough-in plumbing work behind walls and under floors. Manufactured in copper to match standard copper tube systems, this nipple gives plumbers a ready-made 12" length section for extending runs, bridging fixture connections, or completing repairs without custom-cutting and soldering a full stick of tube. Its 1/2" trade size matches common copper water supply lines used throughout residential and light commercial rough-in plumbing, and having a fixed-length section on the truck saves a step when a run needs to be lengthened or a damaged section replaced in the field. Keeping a stock of pre-cut copper nipples on hand also cuts down on wasted material from cutting down full 10' or 20' sticks of tube for short connections.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1/2" copper tube size (CTS) nipple sized to match standard 1/2" copper water supply lines.
• Length: 12" overall length, ideal for extending copper runs or bridging fixture connections without cutting a full stick of tube.
• Copper Construction: Solid copper material for direct compatibility with copper tube piping systems already in place.
• Rough-In Ready: Sized and finished for behind-the-wall and under-floor plumbing connections on new construction, remodel, and repair jobs.
• Consistent Sizing: Fixed 1/2" x 12" dimension keeps replacement and repair work predictable across a job site.
• Straight Nipple Profile: Plain copper tube section that installs the same way a cut length of copper tube would, dropping into an existing copper run.
• Field-Friendly Stocking: A pre-cut 12" length lets plumbers grab a ready-to-use section instead of measuring and cutting from a full stick of tube on every job.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief is a long-standing supplier of rough-in plumbing products for professional plumbers and contractors, and the 600-212 copper nipple reflects that trade-focused approach. Built from copper for direct compatibility with existing copper tube systems, it gives installers a dependable, ready-to-use length for connections that need to hold up behind the wall or under the floor where callbacks are costly. Stocking the 600-212 alongside other Sioux Chief rough-in parts helps keep copper supply runs consistent from job to job, so crews can pull a known-good, pre-sized section instead of relying on scrap cut from a longer stick of tube. For plumbers and contractors who need a reliable copper connector for everyday rough-in work, the Sioux Chief 600-212 is a straightforward, job-site-ready solution.
