Measuring 10 inches in overall length with a 1\/8 inch BSPT thread standard, this nipple provides a full-length threaded configuration suitable for close-coupled fittings or extension runs. Red brass construction offers strong resistance to dezincification and corrosion, making it a dependable choice for water, steam, and low-pressure gas service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component in commercial and residential mechanical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, and gas distribution piping where BSPT thread standards are specified. The 1\/8 inch iron pipe size makes it appropriate for instrument tubing connections, gauge ports, pilot gas lines, and similar small-bore applications. It is commonly used in international or OEM equipment that specifies British Standard Pipe Taper threads rather than NPT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for full engagement with BSPT fittings on each side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed brass construction resists corrosion and dezincification in water and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 inch overall length suits close-coupled or extended piping configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch BSPT thread compatible with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact weight of 0.226 pounds minimizes load on small-bore piping assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with BSPT-threaded fittings and valves in small-bore piping systems. The 1\/8 inch BSPT thread is a British Standard Pipe Taper specification and is not directly interchangeable with NPT threads; verify thread standard on mating fittings before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for the service medium — BSPT threads typically require PTFE tape or anaerobic pipe sealant applied per the sealant manufacturer's instructions. Do not overtighten; hand-tighten first and finish with a pipe wrench to avoid cracking fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.226 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2002-1000BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542392602930,"sku":"2002-1000BSPT","price":24.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8a02ea255cb0cc27cc0af71c24441762_045c04ae-1d93-42fb-9259-31e2c7737d9f.jpg?v=1785899503","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2002-1000bspt-brass-pipe-nipple-1-8-in-bspt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
