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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal pipe size of 0.25 inches fits standard quarter-inch threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5-inch length suited for close-clearance installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal threads on both ends for fitting-to-fitting connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard NPT threaded plumbing and HVAC components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 0.25-inch NPT threaded plumbing, HVAC, and gas piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT (National Pipe Taper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male threaded both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 2104-250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233858191666,"sku":"2104-250","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307629256.jpg?v=1780110465","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2104-250-brass-nipple-0-25-x-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
