At 2 inches overall length with a 1\/4 inch outside diameter, this nipple is designed for connecting threaded pipe fittings, valves, and equipment in tight-clearance plumbing runs. The full-length NPT thread on both ends allows direct makeup with standard fittings without exposed unthreaded pipe body. Red brass construction resists corrosion in potable water, steam, and general-service fluid lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of nipple in both new construction and retrofit applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, gas distribution lines where brass fittings are permitted, compressed air headers, and instrumentation connections. The 1\/4 inch NPT size is common in pressure gauge installations, small valve assemblies, drain connections, and pilot line applications. Its compact 2 inch OAL fits spaces where longer nipples or field-cut pipe sections are impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, steam, and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends to 1\/4 inch NPT standard for leak-free makeup with standard fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance and close-coupled fitting assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch outside diameter matches standard 1\/4 inch iron pipe size fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOSHA-compliant product classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation nipple for any threaded 1\/4 inch NPT plumbing, HVAC, or fluid-handling assembly requiring a 2 inch OAL close nipple in red brass.\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 local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before makeup. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive force.\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\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\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: 2104-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692999737650,"sku":"2104-200","price":57.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a5e0927e9edb98b3ca9af00f69022797.jpg?v=1788306028","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2104-200-brass-pipe-nipple-1-4-npt-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
