Merit Brass 2132-800 Brass Pipe Nipple 2 in Npt 8 in

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 2132-800 is a red brass pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Threaded on both ends to NPT standard, it measures 8 inches overall length with a 2-inch outside diameter and a 2-inch iron pipe size. Fabricated from red brass, it offers solid corrosion resistance in water, steam, and gas service applications. This nipple meets OSHA standards and is a standard component used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters when assembling or extending threaded pipe runs.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial installations where a full-length threaded brass connector is required between fittings, valves, or equipment ports. Typical applications include water distribution, hydronic heating, compressed air, and low-pressure gas piping. Its 2-inch NPT threading makes it compatible with standard 2-inch threaded fittings and valves found across common trade piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as red brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
