Merit Brass 2024-1200BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2024-1200BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple machined with BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads on both ends. At 12 inches overall length with a 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size, it serves as a close-tolerance fitting connector in piping assemblies that require BSPT-standard threaded joints. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in water, low-pressure gas, and general fluid service applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this nipple wherever a full-length threaded-both-ends fitting is specified for BSPT piping systems.

This nipple fits into residential and light commercial piping systems that use BSPT thread standards, which are common in international plumbing, imported equipment connections, and cross-trade installations where metric or British pipe standards are specified. The 12-inch overall length and 1-1/2 inch IPS sizing make it suitable for branch lines, equipment connections, and service manifolds where a straight nipple run is required between fittings or valves.

Key Features

• BSPT threads on both ends for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings
• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and fluid service
• 12-inch overall length provides a full-run threaded nipple for branch or mainline connections
• 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size suits medium-flow plumbing and mechanical piping
• UNSPSC Code 40173300 for procurement and inventory classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for piping systems using 1-1/2 inch BSPT-threaded connections in plumbing, mechanical, and fluid-handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local authority requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded brass fittings, as red brass is softer than iron and can be damaged by excessive torque.
