Merit Brass 2016-200BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2016-200BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in piping systems that require BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) connections. At 2 inches overall length with a 1-inch outside diameter and 1-inch BSPT thread on each end, this close nipple suits applications where minimal spacing between fittings is needed. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in water, low-pressure gas, and general fluid-service lines. Plumbers and pipefitters working on BSPT-compatible systems will find this nipple a direct fit for extending or connecting runs without adapters.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial fluid-handling systems that use the BSPT thread standard. BSPT threads are common in systems of British or international origin and in certain specialty fluid-control applications. The 2-inch overall length makes this a close nipple appropriate for tight-clearance installations where a longer nipple would not fit. It meets OSHA standards and carries an UNSPSC code of 40173300 for procurement classification.

• OSHA-compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for piping systems using 1-inch BSPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any nipple. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to BSPT taper threads before assembly. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as red brass can be damaged by excessive force.
