Merit Brass 2112-2400 Red Brass Pipe Nipple 3/4 Npt 24 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2112-2400 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in piping systems where a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection is required. It measures 24 inches overall length (OAL) with a 3/4 inch NPT thread standard and a 3/4 inch outside diameter. Red brass offers superior resistance to dezincification compared to standard yellow brass, making it a dependable choice for water, gas, and general fluid service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this component when connecting pipe runs or extending existing threaded systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications where 3/4 inch NPT threaded fittings are specified. The 24 inch length accommodates longer span connections between fittings, valves, or equipment without requiring a union or coupling. It is compliant with OSHA standards, supporting use in regulated workplace environments and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• Red brass construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and dezincification
• Threaded on both ends with NPT thread standard for leak-resistant, pressure-rated connections
• 24 inch OAL accommodates longer pipe runs without additional couplings
• 3/4 inch iron pipe size for compatibility with standard 3/4 inch NPT fittings and valves
• OSHA-compliant for use in regulated commercial and industrial installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for gas service lines. Shut off water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as red brass can be damaged by excessive force.
