Merit Brass 2004-1000BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1/4 Bspt 10 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2004-1000BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple machined with BSPT threads on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where British Standard Pipe Taper threading is required. At 10 inches overall length with a 1/4 inch outside diameter and 1/4 inch iron pipe size, this nipple serves as a close-tolerance extension or connection fitting in low-pressure lines. Red brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in both water and air service applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on systems specifying BSPT thread standards will find this nipple a direct-fit solution for international or export-compatible piping assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications requiring BSPT-threaded connections, including water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and instrumentation piping. The 10-inch length accommodates installations where standard close or short nipples fall short, such as penetrations through framing or equipment panels. Technicians specifying BSPT fittings for imported equipment or systems built to British or ISO piping standards will find this nipple appropriate for those connection points.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and mild fluid service
• BSPT threads on both ends for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings
• 10 inches overall length suits through-wall and equipment panel installations
• 1/4 inch iron pipe size for use in small-diameter piping runs
• OSHA-compliant product standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for piping systems specifying 1/4 inch BSPT-threaded brass nipples in plumbing, HVAC, or instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and OSHA standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the specific service fluid to all BSPT threads before assembly. BSPT is a tapered thread standard and is not interchangeable with NPT or NPS threads — verify thread standard on mating fittings before installation.
