Merit Brass 2106-2400 Brass Pipe Nipple 3/8 Npt 24 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2106-2400 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for connecting pipe runs, fittings, and valves in plumbing, gas distribution, and fluid handling systems. At 24 inches overall length with 3/8 inch NPT threads, this nipple bridges longer gaps between fittings without requiring additional couplings. Red brass construction provides strong corrosion resistance in water service and moderate chemical exposure. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and light commercial systems where a durable, code-compliant threaded connection is required.

This nipple suits residential and commercial plumbing systems, gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and hydronic heating applications where 3/8 inch NPT fittings are specified. The 24-inch length makes it appropriate for spanning longer distances between valves, manifolds, or equipment connections without cutting and threading field pipe. Its red brass material makes it compatible with potable water systems, natural gas, and a range of fluid media where brass is an accepted material of construction.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, gas, and fluid service
• 24-inch overall length for extended reach between fittings
• 3/8 inch NPT threads on both ends for standard fitting compatibility
• Meets OSHA standards
• Full-length threading on both ends eliminates the need for field threading

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for any system using standard 3/8 inch NPT brass fittings, valves, and pipe connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded brass connections, as red brass can be damaged by excessive torque.
