Merit Brass 2016-600BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1 in Bspt 6 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2016-600BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple designed for threaded piping assemblies requiring BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) connections. At 6 inches overall length with a 1 inch outside diameter, this nipple is threaded on both ends for direct connection between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in a range of fluid-handling applications. The part meets OSHA standards and is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or industrial piping systems where BSPT threading is specified.

This nipple is commonly used in piping runs where BSPT-threaded connections are required, such as imported equipment interfaces, hydraulic lines, compressed air systems, and fluid distribution manifolds. The 6 inch length makes it a practical close-to-medium extension between threaded components. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on systems that specify BSPT thread form will find this a direct-fit solution. It is not interchangeable with NPT-threaded fittings without an appropriate adapter.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and gas piping applications
• BSPT threading on both ends for secure tapered thread engagement
• 6 inch overall length provides a mid-range extension for piping assemblies
• 1 inch iron pipe size with 1 inch outside diameter
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with BSPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports in 1 inch pipe size applications. BSPT thread form is not compatible with NPT fittings without an adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench with appropriate jaw protection to avoid deforming the brass.
