Merit Brass 2104-200 Brass Nipple 1/4 in X 2 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2104-200 is a solid brass nipple measuring 1/4 inch in diameter by 2 inches in length. Nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or ports in a piping system. This fitting is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and light industrial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant threaded connector is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of system assembly, repair, or modification work.

This nipple is sized at 1/4 inch nominal pipe size and 2 inches in length, making it well suited for close-quarter connections in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include water supply lines, fuel gas distribution piping, compressed air systems, and hydronic heating circuits where a short threaded section is needed to bridge two threaded components.

Key Features

• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, gas, and air service
• 1/4 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threads for broad compatibility
• 2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance installation locations
• Threaded on both ends for direct connection between female-threaded fittings or valves
• Compact form factor suited for residential and light commercial piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/4 inch NPT female-threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, gas, and compressed air systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off the water, gas, or air supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any fitting work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can deform under excessive torque.
