Installation Notes
Follow these best practices for secure installation of the Bedford 12-222 brass nipple:
- Inspect both male and female threads for damage or debris before assembly.
- Apply a small amount of approved PTFE thread sealant or tape to the NPT threads (do not apply to NPS side).
- Thread the nipple by hand to avoid cross-threading, then tighten securely with a wrench.
- Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread distortion or brass cracking.
- Test for air or fluid leaks under low pressure before full operation.
Real Installation Tip: Always use a thread sealant suitable for solvent-based coatings and compressed air — standard plumber’s tape may deteriorate in solvent exposure, causing leaks over time.
When to Replace
Replace your brass nipple fitting if any of the following conditions are observed:
- Thread wear, deformation, or stripped connection
- Corrosion or green oxidation buildup on brass surface
- Persistent leakage even after re-sealing
- Air pressure drop or uneven fluid delivery from the gun
