Merit Brass 2008-001BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1/2 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2008-001BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple with threaded connections on both ends, designed for use in piping assemblies where a short, rigid connector is needed between fittings. It measures 1-1/8 inches overall length with a 1/2 inch outside diameter and 1/2 inch BSPT thread standard. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in fluid-handling systems. This nipple meets OSHA standards and is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on fluid distribution, instrumentation, or industrial piping systems that require BSPT-threaded connections.

This pipe nipple is used in applications requiring close or short nipple connections in BSPT-threaded systems. The BSPT thread form is common in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-distribution assemblies, particularly in industrial and trade settings. The compact 1-1/8 inch overall length makes it a close nipple suitable for tight-clearance installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on BSPT-standard piping assemblies will find this nipple appropriate for making direct, low-profile connections between threaded fittings or valves.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid-handling applications
• Threaded on both ends for direct fitting-to-fitting connection
• 1/2 inch BSPT thread standard for use in metric and international piping systems
• 1-1/8 inch overall length suits close-nipple installations with tight clearance
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for 1/2 inch BSPT-threaded piping assemblies in industrial, fluid-distribution, and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to BSPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
