Brass nipples are chosen for their corrosion resistance, machinability, and reliable thread engagement in both hot and cold water service. This nipple weighs 1.44 pounds, indicating a full, heavy-wall brass construction suitable for demanding trade applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics working on water supply, gas distribution, and fluid transfer systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where a 2-inch threaded connection is required. Typical applications include connecting valves, unions, or manifolds in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and compressed air distribution. The 4.5-inch length provides clearance for wrenching and accommodates standard close-coupled fitting assemblies without requiring a reducing coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolid brass construction offers corrosion resistance in water, gas, and fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch by 4.5-inch dimensions suit standard pipe schedules and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded ends allow direct connection to valves, couplings, and equipment ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.44-pound weight reflects heavy-wall, full-material brass build\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard NPT thread systems common in trade plumbing work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service brass nipple for 2-inch threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid distribution applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Use proper pipe wrenches sized for 2-inch pipe to avoid deforming the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches x 4.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.44 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2132-450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233293140274,"sku":"2132-450","price":50.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307633290.jpg?v=1780096495","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-2132-450-brass-pipe-nipple-2x4-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
