Merit Brass 2132-1200 Brass Pipe Nipple 2 in Npt 12 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2132-1200 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, used to connect threaded pipe fittings, valves, and other piping components in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial systems. It measures 12 inches overall length (OAL) with a 2-inch NPT thread standard and a 2-inch outside diameter. Red brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in water and moderate-pressure fluid service. This nipple is an OEM-style replacement and new-construction fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters where a durable, code-acceptable brass nipple is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, gas distribution where brass is permitted, and industrial fluid-handling systems. The 2-inch NPT thread pattern provides a reliable seal when used with compatible NPT fittings, valves, and couplings. At 12 inches OAL, it works well in applications requiring a longer standoff between two threaded connections. Plumbers and pipefitters use this style of nipple for manifold assemblies, riser connections, and service drops where a fixed-length threaded section is needed.

Key Features

• Threaded on both ends for direct connection between NPT fittings without additional adapters
• Red brass material provides corrosion resistance suitable for water and fluid service
• 12-inch OAL gives a fixed standoff length for riser, manifold, and service connection applications
• 2-inch NPT thread standard ensures compatibility with standard NPT fittings and valves
• Meets OSHA applicable standards for use in compliant piping installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-thread replacement or new-installation nipple for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems. Compatible with any standard 2-inch NPT female-threaded fitting, valve, coupling, or manifold port.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly and tighten to snug-plus wrench turns per standard plumbing practice. Do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
