About This Item
The Pentair 1/2" Short MPT Nipple (R172256Z) is the OEM replacement short-body male pipe thread fitting for Pentair automatic chemical feeder plumbing assemblies requiring a compact 1/2" NPT threaded connection.
This short-body nipple provides a male-threaded connection point for 1/2" NPT female ports on Pentair feeder plumbing assemblies. Its reduced length suits tight-clearance installations where a standard or close nipple would create interference with adjacent components or housing walls.

Pro Tip
Apply two to three wraps of PTFE thread seal tape in the direction of the thread before threading this nipple into the feeder's female port. Hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-torquing, as plastic and composite feeder housings are susceptible to thread damage that cannot be repaired. Confirm the receiving port is 1/2" FPT before ordering to ensure thread compatibility.
