Merit Brass 2006-600BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 6 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2006-600BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple designed for threaded piping assemblies requiring BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) connections. The nipple measures 6 inches overall length with 3/8 inch BSPT threads on both ends and a 3/8 inch outside diameter. Constructed from red brass, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for water, gas, and fluid transfer applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this nipple to extend or connect piping runs in systems where BSPT thread form is specified. The part meets OSHA standards and is packaged as a single unit.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, and fluid handling assemblies where a 3/8 inch BSPT threaded connection is required. The BSPT thread standard is common in imported equipment and international-specification systems. The red brass construction makes it appropriate for wet service environments where dezincification resistance is a concern. It installs directly into any BSPT-threaded fitting, valve, or port of the same nominal size without adapters.

Key Features

• Threaded on both ends for inline extension or transition connections
• 6 inch overall length for standard close-to-medium-reach piping runs
• 3/8 inch BSPT thread form for international-specification or imported equipment compatibility
• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and fluid service
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for piping systems requiring 3/8 inch BSPT threaded connections in brass.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up the joint. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the mating fitting to avoid stress on connected components.
