At 2.5 inches overall length with 1\/8 inch NPT threads, this close-tolerance fitting provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. Red brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in water service and compatibility with a wide range of media. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters commonly install this nipple as part of supply lines, instrument connections, and branch piping runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple suits residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC piping where 1\/8 inch NPT connections are required. Typical applications include gauge ports, pilot line connections, condensate drain fittings, and small-diameter instrument taps. Its compact 2.5 inch length makes it well suited for tight-clearance installations where standard hex nipples or longer close nipples would not fit. OSHA compliance is noted for relevant workplace and jobsite requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and many fluid service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with 1\/8 inch NPT for standard tapered pipe thread connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5 inch overall length suits tight-clearance and compact piping assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA compliant for applicable installation and workplace standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch iron pipe size fits common gauge ports, pilot lines, and instrument taps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/8 inch NPT threaded pipe nipple suitable for use with any NPT-compatible brass, bronze, or iron fittings and valves in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excess torque.\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: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\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: 0.05 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: 2102-250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540884455730,"sku":"2102-250","price":52.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/436322a78ed976e0195aaefaaf5f4840.jpg?v=1785865423","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2102-250-brass-pipe-nipple-1-8-npt-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
