The nipple measures 4 inches overall length (OAL) with a 1\/4-inch outside diameter and 1\/4-inch BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread form on each end. Constructed from red brass, this nipple offers good corrosion resistance in both water and air service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers. Its compact form factor makes it well suited for tight-clearance installations and instrument connections where BSPT threading is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, compressed air distribution, hydraulic instrument connections, and other fluid-handling systems that call for BSPT-standard fittings. The BSPT thread form is a tapered thread common in international and industrial piping applications, and care should be taken to confirm that mating fittings also carry a BSPT specification rather than NPT, as the two thread standards are not interchangeable. This part is sold individually and is appropriate for any application requiring a short 4-inch close-to-close nipple at the 1\/4-inch pipe size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water, air, and mild fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-inch overall length suits close-coupled and tight-clearance piping runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch BSPT tapered thread on both ends for leak-resistant sealed connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards as noted in product specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch iron pipe size (IPS) for straightforward sizing in standard piping layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style and general-use replacement or installation nipple for piping systems specifying 1\/4-inch BSPT threaded connections. Verify that all mating fittings, valves, and ports are rated for BSPT thread form before installation, as BSPT and NPT threads are not directly interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid and pressure when making up BSPT connections. Do not use excessive force when threading into cast or soft-metal ports, as this can crack the mating component.\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 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: 2004-400BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542967976242,"sku":"2004-400BSPT","price":27.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8c4ae8ffb9c8c4762d131913dca64359.jpg?v=1785912567","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2004-400bspt-brass-pipe-nipple-1-4-bspt-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
