It is threaded on both ends with 1\/2 inch NPT threads and measures 18 inches overall length, making it suitable for close-quarter and extended-run connections where a standard short nipple is insufficient. Constructed from red brass, this nipple offers reliable corrosion resistance in both water and low-pressure gas service. It meets OSHA standards and is sized to 1\/2 inch iron pipe size. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, compressed air, and low-pressure gas piping applications. The 1\/2 inch NPT threading is a standard configuration found in a wide range of piping systems, making this nipple a common stock item for service vans and mechanical rooms. Its 18 inch length suits runs requiring more distance between fittings or valves than a hex or close nipple can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and gas service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded on both ends with 1\/2 inch NPT threads for standard fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 inch overall length for extended-run connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch iron pipe size (IPS) for compatibility with standard pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets OSHA standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or new-install nipple for 1\/2 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten with pipe wrenches to avoid cross-threading or over-torquing the brass. Local plumbing codes under the IPC or applicable mechanical codes govern approved materials and installation methods for the intended service.\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Pipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded on Both Ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: OSHA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.21 pounds\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: 2108-1800\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542104211762,"sku":"2108-1800","price":71.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e4a46391379334bbc9f89d7dc87daed6.jpg?v=1785892165","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2108-1800-brass-pipe-nipple-18in-1-2in-npt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
