Merit Brass 2012-150BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2012-150BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas piping systems where a short, reliable threaded connector is needed. It measures 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 3/4-inch outside diameter and carries a 3/4-inch BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread standard, making it suited for international-spec fittings and equipment. Constructed from red brass, this nipple offers solid corrosion resistance in wet and mildly aggressive service environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a close connector between fittings, valves, and threaded components in both residential and light commercial piping assemblies.

This nipple is used in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications where BSPT-threaded connections are specified. The BSPT thread form is common on imported equipment, European-spec components, and certain pool and process piping systems. At 1-1/2 inches OAL, it functions as a close nipple in tight-clearance installations where standard NPT fittings are not compatible. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component during new construction, retrofit, or equipment replacement where BSPT-threaded ports are present.

Key Features

• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for piping systems specifying 3/4-inch BSPT-threaded brass nipples.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for the service fluid when making up BSPT connections. Note that BSPT threads are not interchangeable with NPT threads; verify thread standard on mating fittings before installation.
