Merit Brass 2124-250 Brass Pipe Nipple 1.5x2.5 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2124-250 is a brass pipe nipple sized at 1.5 inches by 2.5 inches, used to connect threaded pipe sections in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. Machined from solid brass, this nipple provides reliable corrosion resistance and dependable thread engagement in both low-pressure and moderate-pressure applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting where a short threaded extension is needed between valves, fittings, or equipment ports. Its compact length and standard male NPT threads make it a common service and repair component across residential and commercial installations.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating loops, gas supply lines where brass is code-approved, and general mechanical piping. Its 1.5-inch nominal pipe size accommodates common branch and main line connections, and the 2.5-inch length provides enough thread engagement for most standard close-coupled configurations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in professional trade settings.

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 supply line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the fitting size. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as brass threads can gall or crack under excessive force.
