With an overall length of 2 inches and a 1\/2-inch outside diameter, this close nipple delivers full threading from end to end, allowing direct coupling between fittings or valves without exposed plain pipe. Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, steam, and mild chemical service lines. Plumbers and pipefitters specify this nipple where metric or British-standard threaded connections are called out in the system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and general industrial piping applications where BSPT threaded fittings are used. The 1\/2-inch iron pipe size makes it a common selection for supply branches, fixture connections, and instrumentation tie-ins. It meets OSHA standards and carries UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement classification. Sold individually, it is appropriate for single-unit replacement or new installation work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct fitting-to-fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch overall length — compact close nipple profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch BSPT thread standard for British-standard piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass material for corrosion resistance in water and steam service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch iron pipe size — common branch and fixture connection size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2-inch BSPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in piping systems specified to British Standard Pipe Taper thread forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off the water supply or depressurize the line before removing or installing any nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to BSPT threads before assembly, as BSPT is a tapered thread that seals on the thread form. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.116 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2008-200BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541742125362,"sku":"2008-200BSPT","price":23.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/aae2afb84b9acf45b2e7a57f1a3d3ea6.jpg?v=1785883659","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2008-200bspt-brass-pipe-nipple-1-2-in-bspt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
