At 2 inches overall length and 1\/8 inch nominal pipe size, this nipple is suited for tight-quarter installations where a full-length nipple would not fit. Red brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in water service and compatibility with a wide range of fluids. Weighing approximately 0.04 pounds, this is a compact fitting intended for professional installation in residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple fits into 1\/8 inch NPT threaded ports on valves, gauges, pressure controls, and pipe fittings. Common applications include instrument connections, gauge tapping points, small-diameter gas or water lines, and HVAC control piping where a short threaded connector is required. The 2-inch overall length makes it a close nipple, minimizing the gap between two threaded connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with standard NPT threads for broad fitting compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 inches overall length for close-coupled installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch nominal pipe size suits gauge ports, instrument taps, and small-line connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.04 pounds — easy to handle in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for any 1\/8 inch NPT threaded connection in residential or commercial plumbing, HVAC, and light pneumatic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly — do not over-tighten, as red brass can crack under excessive torque. Installations involving gas service must comply with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40173300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2102-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539021857074,"sku":"2102-200","price":47.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bd656dd82cace8b7649f11b143a9caf1.jpg?v=1785833071","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2102-200-brass-pipe-nipple-1-8-npt-2-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
