At 48 inches overall length with a 1\/8 inch NPT thread size, this nipple spans long runs where a single continuous threaded piece is needed. Red brass offers better corrosion resistance than standard yellow brass, making it well-suited for water service, steam, and mild chemical lines. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians rely on this type of full-length threaded nipple for precise cut-to-length applications or direct fitting connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems, light industrial piping, and HVAC refrigerant or condensate line assemblies where 1\/8 inch NPT threaded connections are specified. The 48 inch length provides flexibility for installers who need a long close nipple or intend to cut the piece to a required length on the job. Typical applications include boiler connections, gauge ports, pilot gas lines, and instrument tapping points where small-diameter threaded pipe stock is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with NPT thread standard for reliable leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e48 inch overall length accommodates long runs or multiple cut-to-length fittings from a single piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch iron pipe size suits small-diameter instrument, gauge, and pilot line applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides improved corrosion resistance over yellow brass in water and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and catalog compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard stock fitting for any system requiring 1\/8 inch NPT threaded brass pipe nipples in plumbing, HVAC, gas, or light industrial piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC codes. Shut off the supply line and depressurize the system before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to standard hand-tight-plus wrench turns per the fitting specification. Do not over-torque small-diameter brass nipples, as red brass can crack if excessive force is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: NPT\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: 48 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: 1.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 2002-4800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543053500722,"sku":"2002-4800","price":152.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/919a8c936871f3129ecd5bde8559d5b2_fd434d7d-b6c0-4289-9b84-4e817b6e66fd.jpg?v=1785914657","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2002-4800-brass-pipe-nipple-48-in-1-8-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
