Merit Brass 2112-1200 Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4 Npt 12 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2112-1200 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, used to create short pipe extensions or connect fittings in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. It measures 12 inches overall length (OAL) with a 3/4 inch NPT thread standard and a 3/4 inch outside diameter. Weighing 1.165 pounds, the red brass construction offers reliable corrosion resistance in water, gas, and steam service applications. This nipple is OSHA compliant and suited for licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on both new construction and retrofit projects.

This pipe nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems where a 3/4 inch NPT connection is required. It fits between valves, unions, tees, elbows, and other threaded fittings to achieve the correct spacing or offset in a piping run. Red brass is preferred in applications involving potable water lines, heating systems, and gas supply where a higher copper content alloy is specified for added durability and corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, gas, and steam service
• Threaded on both ends with NPT thread standard for standard fitting compatibility
• 12 inch OAL provides a fixed-length extension for spacing and offset work
• 3/4 inch iron pipe size (IPS) matches standard 3/4 inch NPT fittings and valves
• OSHA compliant for use in regulated commercial and industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort threads. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and verify system pressure is at zero before removing or installing any threaded nipple.
