Re: Nipple Extenders
Hello Mike, We have used AA x AA Male/Female extensions where both sizes are the same. I have seen them in 1/2 3/4 1 lengths. Thursday, May 8, 2008, 5:21:16 PM, you wrote: Quick (I hope) question. I don?t recall seeing this thread before. Are ½? x 1? male female nipple extenders allowed to be used at the sprinkler/reducer coupling interface when you have cut the drop a smidgen too short and can?t get back above the hard ceiling to pull it out?

RE: Nipple Extenders
United Brass makes a 1/2 by 1/2 male by female and a 3/4 x 3/4 male by female extender. These can be used to extend a drop that is cut too short. AFSA in the past had a BEST PRACTICE written about the use of these. There is some argument that these should not be used but they can be helpful. There is also a company that makes a cast iron version of the same thing and they are a little longer than the brass ones. I was always more comfortable using the brass extender nipples. You can contact AFSA or go on their website to see if you can find the article in the archives'. Michael L. Brown Manager of Technical Services The Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Company, Inc.'
