Merit Brass 2116-1200 Brass Pipe Nipple 1 in Npt 12 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2116-1200 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for connecting pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. At 12 inches overall length with 1-inch NPT threads and a 1-inch outside diameter, it provides a full-length threaded connection suitable for a wide range of pipe fitting assemblies. Red brass construction offers solid corrosion resistance in water service applications. This nipple meets OSHA standards and is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or commercial systems.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, gas distribution lines, and light industrial fluid-handling applications. The 1-inch NPT thread size fits standard 1-inch iron pipe size fittings and valves. The 12-inch overall length makes it practical for spanning moderate distances between fittings without requiring a union or coupling. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this component when a fully threaded nipple run is needed between two threaded ports.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-inch NPT threaded nipple for use with compatible 1-inch iron pipe size fittings, valves, and couplings in threaded piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system before removing or installing any threaded component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
