Merit Brass 2002-1000 Brass Pipe Nipple 1/8 Npt 10 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2002-1000 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for joining sections of pipe in low-pressure plumbing, gas, and fluid distribution systems. It measures 10 inches overall length with a 1/8 inch NPT thread standard and a 1/8 inch outside diameter. Constructed from red brass, this nipple resists corrosion in water and mild chemical service. At 0.23 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. It meets OSHA standards and is suited for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is a common fit for low-volume fluid or gas line assemblies where a 1/8 inch NPT connection is required. Typical applications include instrument connections, gauge ports, pilot gas lines, and small-diameter water distribution lines. The 10 inch overall length provides enough reach for through-wall or panel installations without requiring additional fittings. Plumbing contractors, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors regularly stock this size for service and repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local code requirements. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as the material can be damaged by excessive torque.
