Merit Brass 2102-150 Brass Pipe Nipple 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2102-150 is a close-pattern pipe nipple machined from red brass, threaded on both ends to 1/8 inches NPT. At 1.5 inches overall length and 1/8 inches outside diameter, this nipple is designed for connecting fittings, valves, and other threaded components in low-volume plumbing and fluid-transfer assemblies. Its all-thread configuration makes it suitable for tight-clearance applications where a close or short nipple is required. OSHA compliance is noted. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of nipple in both new construction and retrofit service work.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, instrumentation lines, compressed air connections, and other threaded-pipe assemblies using 1/8 inches NPT fittings. The red brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in potable water and general-service fluid applications. It is typically installed in systems where a short, rigid threaded connection between two female-threaded ports is required.

Key Features

• Threaded on both ends for direct port-to-port connection
• 1/8 inches NPT thread standard for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Red brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and general fluid service
• 1.5 inches overall length suits tight-clearance and close-nipple applications
• OSHA-compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8 inches NPT close-pattern pipe nipple for use with compatible female-threaded fittings, valves, and manifolds in threaded pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters using standard pipe wrenches or hex-drive tools. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Depressurize and drain the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Do not overtighten, as red brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
