Merit Brass 2132-6000 Red Brass Pipe Nipple 2 in Npt 60 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2132-6000 is a red brass pipe nipple threaded on both ends, designed for use in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems where corrosion resistance and reliable pressure connections are required. At 60 inches overall length with a 2-inch NPT thread on each end, this is a full-length nipple suited for spanning longer distances between fittings or valves. Red brass construction offers superior resistance to dezincification compared to yellow brass, making it well suited for water service, steam, and mild chemical applications. At 19 pounds, this nipple is a substantial component intended for permanent or semi-permanent installation by licensed plumbers or pipefitters.

This nipple is a standard fit for 2-inch NPT threaded systems in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, low-pressure steam, and industrial process piping. The 60-inch length is commonly used where a straight pipe run is needed between threaded fittings, manifolds, or isolation valves. Typical installations include boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and equipment connections requiring a long-reach threaded pipe section. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of components at this size and length.

Key Features

• Red brass construction resists dezincification and corrosion in water and steam service
• 60-inch overall length suits long-run threaded pipe installations
• 2-inch NPT threads on both ends for standard threaded fitting compatibility
• Full threading on both ends allows direct engagement with couplings, valves, and fittings
• Substantial 19-pound weight reflects solid brass wall thickness for pressure service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2-inch NPT threaded piping systems using red brass or compatible fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before threading or removing any pipe component. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. At 60 inches and 19 pounds, use appropriate support and pipe hangers as required by code to prevent stress on connected fittings.
