Merit Brass 2120-800 Brass Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 Npt 8 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2120-800 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in plumbing, gas, and fluid-distribution piping systems. It measures 8 inches overall length (OAL) with a 1-1/4 inch NPT thread standard and a 1-1/4 inch outside diameter. Red brass construction provides good corrosion resistance in water supply and low-pressure fluid applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this nipple as a connecting fitting between threaded pipe sections, valves, fittings, and equipment. It meets OSHA standards and is suited for both new installations and maintenance or repair work on existing threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, compressed air lines, and fuel-gas distribution where red brass fittings are specified. The full-thread configuration on both ends allows direct makeup with standard NPT couplings, valves, and threaded pipe. It is commonly installed in tight spaces requiring a short, double-threaded connector between two fixed points.

Key Features

• Red brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and fluid service
• Threaded on both ends with 1-1/4 inch NPT standard thread
• 8 inch overall length for precise spacing between threaded components
• 1-1/4 inch outside diameter matching standard iron pipe size
• Meets OSHA standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fitting for threaded piping systems using 1-1/4 inch NPT connections in plumbing, gas, and fluid-distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off the water, gas, or fluid supply and depressurize the line before threading in the nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads in accordance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench sized for 1-1/4 inch fittings and follow standard NPT makeup practices.
