Merit Brass 2006-001BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 3/8 Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2006-001BSPT is a close-pattern red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends to the British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) thread standard. With an overall length of 0.75 inches and an outside diameter of 0.375 inches, this nipple is engineered for tight-clearance connections in compact plumbing and fluid-handling assemblies. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in both water and mild fluid service. It is a standard trade fitting installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on systems requiring BSPT-threaded connections.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, compressed air lines, and general industrial fluid service where BSPT threading is specified. The 3/8 inch iron pipe size makes it a common choice for branch connections, instrument ports, and close-coupled fittings in confined spaces. Its compact 0.75 inch overall length is intended for applications where a standard close nipple is required and minimal standoff distance is critical.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any pipe nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for BSPT threads before making up connections. Note that BSPT threads are tapered and are not interchangeable with NPT threads without an appropriate adapter fitting.
