Merit Brass 2012-300BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2012-300BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for connecting threaded pipe fittings in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. It measures 3 inches overall length with a 3/4 inch outside diameter and carries BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads, making it suited for applications requiring that thread standard. Red brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in water service and general plumbing environments. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this type of nipple as a short connecting piece between valves, fittings, and other threaded components. The part meets OSHA standards and ships in single-unit quantities.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where BSPT threaded connections are specified. Typical applications include water supply lines, irrigation systems, and fluid-handling assemblies that call for a 3/4 inch BSPT thread standard. The red brass material is appropriate for potable water service as well as general-purpose liquid piping. At 3 inches overall length, it functions as a close-to-short nipple for tight-clearance connections between fittings, valves, and equipment ports.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and general fluid service
• Threaded on both ends for direct fitting-to-fitting connections
• BSPT thread standard for metric and international system compatibility
• 3 inches overall length suits tight-clearance installations

• 3/4 inch iron pipe size for common plumbing and piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install nipple for 3/4 inch BSPT threaded plumbing and fluid-handling systems requiring a 3-inch overall length connecting piece.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the BSPT threads before assembly. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings or distort threads.
