Merit Brass 2116-1000 Brass Pipe Nipple 1 in Npt 10 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2116-1000 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in fluid and gas distribution piping systems. It measures 10 inches overall length with a 1-inch NPT thread standard and a 1-inch outside diameter. Red brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in water, steam, and mild chemical service. This nipple meets OSHA standards and is a standard fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in commercial and residential applications.

This nipple is suited for potable water lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its full threaded-on-both-ends configuration makes it a direct-connect fitting between threaded fittings, valves, or couplings without the need for additional adapters. It is commonly used in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and process piping where a 10-inch close-to-medium extension is needed between components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making up the joint. Do not overtighten; hand-tighten first, then snug with a pipe wrench to avoid cracking the fitting or damaging threads.
