Merit Brass 2032-7200 Brass Pipe Nipple 2 in Npt 72 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2032-7200 is a full-length red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, sized at 2 inches NPT and measuring 72 inches overall length (OAL). Manufactured from red brass, this nipple provides reliable corrosion resistance in water, gas, and general plumbing service. The NPT threads on both ends allow direct connection to standard fittings, valves, and pipe couplings. At 22.8 pounds, this is a heavy-duty, full-length nipple suited for commercial and industrial piping runs where a single continuous threaded section is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this size and length of nipple.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air lines, and other fluid-handling applications where red brass material is specified. The 72-inch OAL and 2-inch NPT size make it well suited for longer pipe runs where a nipple eliminates the need for an additional pipe-and-coupling assembly. It is commonly installed in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and utility piping systems.

Key Features

• Red brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance for water and general plumbing service
• Threaded on both ends with NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard fittings and valves
• 72-inch OAL eliminates the need for additional pipe couplings on longer runs
• 2-inch nominal pipe size suits high-flow commercial and industrial applications
• Full-length threaded design allows flexible cut-to-length use in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch NPT threaded plumbing and piping systems using standard NPT fittings, couplings, and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation of 2-inch brass nipples of this length should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before cutting into any existing system. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to fitting manufacturer specifications using pipe wrenches. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings or distort threads.
