Merit Brass 2124-500 Brass Nipple 1.5 X 5 Inches

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2124-500 is a solid brass close-pattern nipple measuring 1.5 inches in diameter by 5 inches in length. Nipples are short threaded pipe sections used to connect fittings, valves, and equipment in fluid-handling systems. This piece is machined from brass stock, giving it reliable corrosion resistance in water, gas, and low-pressure steam service. At 1.22 pounds, it carries the heft expected of a full-weight brass fitting. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers, though HVAC and pool service technicians also reach for brass nipples regularly when making final connections at equipment.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, heating, and gas distribution systems where a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection is required. Common applications include supply line extensions, valve stub-outs, manifold assemblies, and equipment isolation points. The 1.5-inch size fits standard pipe configurations typical in main supply runs, boiler connections, and pool circulation system headers.

Key Features

• Solid brass construction for corrosion resistance in water, gas, and steam service
• 1.5-inch nominal diameter by 5-inch length for standard pipe runs and extensions
• Threaded ends for straightforward connection to standard fittings and valves
• Full-weight brass stock at 1.22 pounds for dependable, long-service fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install brass nipple for standard 1.5-inch threaded pipe systems in plumbing, heating, gas, and pool applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off and isolate the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before threading the nipple into place. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded brass fittings, as brass is softer than steel and can crack under excessive force.
