Merit Brass 2132-4800 Brass Pipe Nipple 48 in 2 Npt

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2132-4800 is a full-length threaded pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from red brass, this nipple measures 48 inches overall length with a 2-inch NPT thread on both ends and a 2-inch outside diameter. It provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection point between fittings, valves, or equipment in both gas and liquid service lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The OSHA-compliant construction makes it suitable for commercial and industrial environments where code-adherent materials are required.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing rough-ins, HVAC hydronic piping, compressed air distribution, and industrial process piping. The 48-inch length serves applications requiring an extended run between threaded connection points without an additional coupling. It is appropriate for water supply, steam, gas distribution, and other services compatible with red brass at standard working pressures. The 2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard 2-inch NPT fittings throughout the piping system.
