Merit Brass 2002-001BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1/8 Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2002-001BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in compressed air, water, gas, and fluid distribution systems. At 3/4 inches overall length with a 1/8 inch outside diameter and 1/8 inch BSPT threading, this close nipple is built for tight-space connections where minimal run length is required. Manufactured from red brass, it offers solid corrosion resistance for both water and gas service lines. Meets OSHA standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians use this type of nipple to join threaded fittings, valves, and equipment in low-to-medium pressure piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial fluid systems where BSPT-threaded connections are specified. The 1/8 inch BSPT thread standard is common in international and specialty equipment applications. Its compact 3/4 inch overall length makes it a practical choice when connecting two threaded female fittings in close proximity without added pipe run.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for piping systems requiring 1/8 inch BSPT-threaded brass nipples in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial fluid distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench for final make-up, taking care not to overtighten and crack adjacent fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line before service or replacement.
