Merit Brass 2116-6000 Brass Pipe Nipple 60 in 1 in Npt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2116-6000 is a full-length red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for connecting pipe runs in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. At 60 inches overall length with 1-inch NPT threads, this nipple handles long-run installations where a single piece eliminates the need for couplings or intermediate fittings. Red brass construction provides strong corrosion resistance in water service, compressed air, and moderate chemical environments. At 7.68 pounds, this is a substantial fitting suited for permanent installations. OSHA compliance is noted, making it appropriate for commercial and industrial job sites.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, compressed air distribution, and general industrial fluid handling wherever a 1-inch NPT threaded connection is required. The 60-inch length suits applications where standard close or short nipples fall short, such as through-wall penetrations, long drop legs, or custom fabricated piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this fitting.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, air, and mild chemical service
• 60-inch overall length covers long-run piping without intermediate couplings
• 1-inch NPT threads on both ends for standard pipe system compatibility
• 1-inch outside diameter consistent with 1-inch iron pipe size (IPS) standards
• OSHA-compliant for use on commercial and industrial job sites

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before threading this nipple into any fitting or valve. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Due to the 60-inch length, support the nipple with appropriate pipe hangers at intervals required by code to prevent sagging or stress on threaded joints.
