Merit Brass 2032-600BSPT Brass Pipe Nipple 2 in Bspt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2032-600BSPT is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in piping systems that require British Standard Pipe Taper (BSPT) thread connections. With a 2-inch iron pipe size and a 6-inch overall length, this nipple serves as a short extension or transition fitting between threaded components. Red brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance in water, steam, and general-purpose fluid applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting during new construction or retrofit work where BSPT thread compatibility is required.

This nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general fluid-transfer installations where BSPT threaded pipe connections are specified. The 2-inch size accommodates moderate to high flow rates common in supply mains and distribution headers. It is appropriate for applications calling for a short, rigid connection between two female-threaded fittings or valves.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and steam service
• BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) threads on both ends for secure, tapered engagement
• 6-inch overall length suits standard nipple extension requirements
• 2-inch iron pipe size accommodates high-flow distribution lines
• Full threading on both ends eliminates unthreaded center sections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch BSPT threaded piping systems in plumbing and fluid-transfer applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten, as red brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
