It measures 4.5 inches overall length with a 1\/8 inch NPT thread standard and a 1\/8 inch outside diameter. Fabricated from red brass, this nipple offers solid corrosion resistance in wet service environments. At 0.09 pounds, it is a compact fitting suited for tight piping configurations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded piping assemblies where a short, fully threaded connector is required between valves, gauges, or other threaded components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC condensate drain systems, fuel gas distribution, and instrumentation piping where 1\/8 inch NPT connections are specified. Its fully threaded body allows direct engagement on both ends without the need for additional couplings, making it a straightforward choice for close-quarter piping runs. The red brass construction makes it compatible with copper and brass system components commonly found in potable water, steam, and compressed air service lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends for direct connection to NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.5 inch overall length suits compact or close-quarter piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard North American pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA-compliant product designation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.09 pounds, minimizing load on instrumentation or small-bore piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or new-installation nipple for 1\/8 inch NPT threaded piping systems using red brass or compatible metal fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and instrumentation applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of threaded brass pipe nipples is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC and IFGC code requirements. Shut off all supply pressure and depressurize the line before removal or installation of any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body or distort the thread.\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: 4.5 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\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\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\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: 0.09 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: 2102-450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543515005234,"sku":"2102-450","price":75.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c5c4801fd0be4003937aa3002e145887.jpg?v=1785919805","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2102-450-brass-pipe-nipple-1-8-npt-4-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
