Merit Brass 2024-200BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 1-1/2 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2024-200BSPT is a close pipe nipple machined from red brass, designed to create short threaded connections in piping systems. It measures 2 inches overall length and carries 1-1/2 inch BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads on both ends. Red brass offers strong resistance to dezincification and corrosion, making it a reliable choice in water supply, compressed air, and fluid-handling applications. This nipple is sold individually and is a standard inventory item for plumbing contractors, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians who need a compact threaded coupling point.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations, as well as light industrial fluid systems where BSPT-threaded fittings are specified. The 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size accommodates moderate-flow lines, and the fully threaded body allows direct makeup with BSPT-compatible couplings, valves, or fittings. Its compact 2-inch length is useful in tight spaces where a standard nipple would be too long. Plumbers and pipefitters working on import equipment or international system retrofits will find the BSPT thread standard essential for proper fit.

Key Features

• Threaded on both ends for direct connection between two fittings or valves
• 1-1/2 inch BSPT thread standard for compatibility with British Standard Pipe Taper fittings
• 2 inches overall length suits tight-clearance installations
• Red brass construction resists corrosion and dezincification in water and fluid service
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-1/2 inch BSPT-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in plumbing and fluid-handling piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing any existing fittings or nipples. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up the connection. Do not overtighten; red brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Follow local plumbing code requirements for pipe support and pressure testing after installation.
