Merit Brass 2104-250 Brass Nipple 0.25 X 2.5 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2104-250 is a brass pipe nipple sized at 0.25 inches nominal pipe diameter by 2.5 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect two fittings, valves, or threaded ports. This nipple is made from brass, which resists corrosion and performs reliably in both water and gas service applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely stock brass nipples for repairs, extensions, and system assembly work where a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded connector is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems where a short threaded connector is needed between two fittings. Its compact 2.5-inch body makes it useful in tight spaces where a longer nipple would be impractical. Common install scenarios include connecting shutoff valves to supply lines, linking tees to unions, or extending threaded ports on equipment.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and gas service
• Nominal pipe size of 0.25 inches fits standard quarter-inch threaded fittings
• 2.5-inch length suited for close-clearance installations
• External threads on both ends for fitting-to-fitting connections
• Compatible with standard NPT threaded plumbing and HVAC components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 0.25-inch NPT threaded plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
