Measuring 6 inches overall length with a 1\/2 inch outside diameter and 1\/2 inch iron pipe size, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant joint in fluid and gas distribution systems. Red brass construction offers improved resistance to dezincification compared to standard yellow brass, making it well suited for water, compressed air, and compatible fluid service. This part meets OSHA standards and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where BSPT threading is specified. BSPT is commonly required in applications involving imported equipment, marine systems, or international-spec components. Plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple to extend, connect, or transition piping runs where a short threaded male fitting on both ends is needed. The 6 inch length suits close-coupled runs or moderate-length extensions between fittings, valves, or equipment ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction for enhanced corrosion resistance and dezincification resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct connection between two female-threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBSPT thread standard for compatibility with international and imported equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 inch overall length suits close-coupled and moderate-extension piping runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch iron pipe size matches standard 1\/2 inch piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for 1\/2 inch BSPT female-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the BSPT threads before make-up, as BSPT is a tapered thread that relies on thread engagement and sealant for a leak-free joint. Do not mix BSPT threads with NPT fittings, as the thread forms are not compatible and will not seal correctly.\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: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.404 pounds\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: 2008-600BSPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539285836082,"sku":"2008-600BSPT","price":55.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33fd9968ec879e9bcc97f96156c9daca.jpg?v=1785837798","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2008-600bspt-brass-pipe-nipple-6-in-bspt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
