Merit Brass 2006-3600 Brass Pipe Nipple 36in 3/8in Npt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2006-3600 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas distribution systems across plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications. It measures 36 inches in overall length with a 3/8 inches NPT thread on each end and a 3/8 inches outside diameter. Constructed from red brass, this nipple provides reliable corrosion resistance in both water and low-pressure gas service. It meets OSHA standards and is sized to NPT thread specifications, making it a straightforward drop-in component for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for applications requiring a longer-run threaded connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Its 36-inch length makes it useful in situations where a close or short nipple cannot bridge the required gap, such as risers, branch lines, or equipment offsets in plumbing and HVAC piping assemblies. The 3/8 inches NPT size is common in gas supply lines, water distribution, and instrumentation connections. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters.

Key Features

• Full threading on both ends for secure, leak-resistant connections
• 36 inches overall length suits longer-run piping offsets and risers
• 3/8 inches NPT thread standard for broad fitting compatibility
• Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and gas service
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inches NPT threaded brass pipe nipple for use with compatible NPT fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local authority requirements. Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before threading or removing any piping components. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
