Merit Brass 2116-600 Brass Pipe Nipple 1x6 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2116-600 is a brass pipe nipple sized at 1 inch diameter by 6 inches in length. Pipe nipples are short threaded fittings used to connect two female-threaded pipe fittings, valves, or equipment ports in a plumbing or piping assembly. This nipple is machined from brass, which offers good corrosion resistance and durability in water, gas, and low-pressure fluid applications. At 0.77 pounds, it is a compact, ready-to-install component. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, gas distribution piping, and general-purpose plumbing assemblies where a 1-inch threaded connection is required. The 6-inch body length provides enough clearance for installations where a close nipple or short hex nipple would be insufficient. Typical applications include connecting valves to manifolds, extending pipe runs through walls or panels, and making up threaded piping assemblies in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and equipment connections.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and gas service
• 1 inch diameter fits standard 1-inch threaded pipe fittings and valves
• 6 inch body length suits applications requiring clearance beyond a close or short nipple
• Lightweight at 0.77 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Threaded ends allow direct makeup into female NPT fittings without additional adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch female NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and fluid piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope appropriate for the service medium to the male threads before makeup. Tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench; do not over-tighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
