Constructed from seamless red brass conforming to ASTM B687-88\/B456, it provides strong resistance to corrosion from water, heat, salt water, acids, minerals, and peaty soils. The nipple measures 1\/2 inch in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, with male threaded ends on both sides. The relative softness of red brass allows the threads to seat firmly, reducing the likelihood of leaks and making hand-starting and final tightening straightforward for experienced installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for commercial plumbing, OEM assemblies, and mechanical systems carrying water, oil, gas, or steam. It is a common component in pipe runs where a short extension or offset is needed between two threaded fittings. Schedule 40 wall thickness makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service in both new construction and repair work. Plumbing contractors, pipefitters, and facilities maintenance professionals regularly stock this size for general service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeamless red brass construction per ASTM B687-88\/B456 for consistent wall integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 40 wall thickness rated for standard-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMale threaded x male threaded ends for straightforward connection between female-threaded components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCorrosion resistance against water, salt water, acids, minerals, and heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with water, oil, gas, and steam service applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged 25 per box for job-site or shop stocking convenience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in commercial plumbing, OEM, water, oil, gas, and steam piping systems requiring a 1\/2-inch Schedule 40 male-threaded nipple fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug fit without over-torquing, which can crack fittings or distort threads. All gas-line installations must comply with local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Male Threaded x Male Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM B687-88\/B456\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e: Seamless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Commercial, Plumbing, OEM, Water, Oil, Gas, Steam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 per box\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: 2108-200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467597185330,"sku":"2108-200","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313946315.jpg?v=1783907508","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2108-200-red-brass-nipple-1-2-x-2-inch-sch-40","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
