Pentair 1/4" x .88" Close Nipple

The Pentair 1/4" x .88" Close Nipple (Part #35202-0959 / 35202-0959Z) is a precision-machined brass plumbing fitting designed for use across Pentair’s high-capacity Sta-Rite System 3 filter line, including the Modular SM Series Media filters, SD and SMD Series D.E. filters, and SS Series Sand filters. Cast from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant red brass, this incredibly compact "close" pipe nipple features external male threads extending across its entire 0.88-inch length with virtually no unthreaded spacing in the middle. It functions as a tight, leak-free connection bridge between adjacent internal valves, manifolds, or air-bleed plumbing lines where spacing is highly restricted. By providing maximum structural integrity and corrosion resistance in chlorinated or chemically treated pool water, it keeps high-pressure connection points perfectly secure within the compact confines of the filter housing.

As an ultra-compact piece of solid brass hardware, its weight is minimal:

• Actual Product Weight: Approximately 0.03 to 0.05 pounds (roughly 0.48 to 0.80 ounces).

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Typically listed at 0.10 pounds (under 2 ounces) due to the small padded envelope or parts baggie used for transit.
