Merit Brass 2012-1000BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4 Inch Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2012-1000BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where a short, rigid pipe section is needed between two fittings. It measures 10 inches overall length with a 3/4 inch outside diameter and carries a 3/4 inch BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread standard on both ends. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in wet service environments. This nipple suits plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications and is typically installed by licensed plumbers or pipe fitters working on threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where BSPT-threaded connections are specified. The BSPT thread form is commonly used in hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies, imported equipment, and international-standard piping systems. At 10 inches OAL, it provides a close extension between valves, fittings, and equipment ports. Plumbers and pipe fitters working on retrofit or repair jobs involving metric or internationally sourced components will find this a direct-fit threaded connector without the need for adapters.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid service conditions
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection between two fittings or ports
• 3/4 inch BSPT thread standard for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper applications
• 10 inch overall length suits extension runs between valves and equipment
• Meets OSHA standards
• 3/4 inch iron pipe size for integration into standard pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in 3/4 inch BSPT-threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems requiring red brass nipples with British Standard Pipe Taper threading.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the nipple into fittings. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the mating fitting to avoid stressing adjacent joints.
