Merit Brass 2006-150BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 3/8 Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2006-150BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple machined with BSPT threads on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas piping assemblies where British Standard Pipe Taper threading is required. At 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 3/8 inch outside diameter, this close nipple provides a compact, rigid connection point between two threaded fittings or valves. Constructed from red brass, it offers reliable corrosion resistance in water, air, and mild chemical service. This nipple meets OSHA standards and is suited for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on international-spec or metric-adjacent piping systems.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydraulic, and pneumatic assemblies where BSPT threaded connections are specified. It is a common fit for imported equipment, European or Asian-manufactured valves, and instrumentation panels that call for BSPT rather than NPT thread form. Installers working on retrofit or OEM-matched piping runs will use this part to maintain thread-standard consistency across a system.

Key Features

• BSPT threads on both ends for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings
• 1-1/2 inch overall length for compact inline connections
• 3/8 inch outside diameter, 3/8 inch iron pipe size
• Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and air service
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch BSPT replacement nipple for piping systems requiring British Standard Pipe Taper threaded connections. Not a direct drop-in for NPT-threaded fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid when making up BSPT joints. Confirm thread standard on mating fittings before assembly, as BSPT and NPT are not interchangeable despite similar sizing.
