Merit Brass 2002-200BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1/8 Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2002-200BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where a short, fully threaded connector is needed. The nipple measures 2 inches overall length with a 1/8 inch outside diameter and 1/8 inch BSPT threading, making it a compact fitting suitable for tight-space connections. Constructed from red brass, this nipple offers solid corrosion resistance in water and low-pressure fluid service. Plumbers and pipefitters install it wherever two female-threaded fittings or valves need to be joined with a close nipple in BSPT thread form.

This nipple is intended for plumbing, instrumentation, and light industrial piping applications that call for British Standard Pipe Taper threading. The 1/8 inch size suits small-bore connections found in gauge ports, instrument taps, control valve bodies, and similar fittings. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial work where BSPT thread form is specified rather than the NPT standard common in North American systems. Installers sourcing BSPT fittings for imported equipment or international-standard assemblies will find this a direct-fit solution.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and fluid service
• Threaded on both ends for full engagement across the entire 2 inch length
• 1/8 inch BSPT thread form for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings
• Compact 2 inch overall length suited to close-coupled connections
• OSHA compliant per listed standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for small-bore piping assemblies requiring 1/8 inch BSPT male-threaded nipples in brass.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for BSPT connections to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten; brass threads can gall or crack under excessive torque.
