Merit Brass NIPBR38-2 Pipe Nipple 3/8 Inch X 2 Inch Brass Mnpt Sch 40 Seamless Domestic

Product Description

The Merit Brass NIPBR38-2 is a 3/8 inch by 2 inch brass pipe nipple designed for reliable threaded connections in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This nipple features male NPT threads on both ends, making it a standard close-coupled connector used to join fittings, valves, and other threaded components. It is manufactured to SCH 40 and standard wall thickness specifications, giving it the pressure rating and durability that trade professionals expect on the job. The brass construction resists corrosion in water supply, gas, and compressed air applications, making it a dependable choice for both residential and commercial installs. Brass pipe nipples like this one are commonly used by plumbers and HVAC technicians when building out distribution manifolds, connecting valves to supply lines, or extending threaded pipe runs in tight spaces. The 2 inch length is one of the most frequently stocked sizes, ideal for situations where a short extension or offset between two fittings is needed. This nipple is produced domestically to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy and material quality. The seamless construction eliminates weld seams, which reduces weak points and helps maintain a clean, leak-free connection under pressure. MNPT threads conform to ANSI and ASME B1.20.1 standards, so this nipple will mate correctly with standard NPT fittings across all major brands. Whether you are roughing in a gas line, assembling a water treatment system, or building a hydronic heating loop, this brass nipple delivers the fit and performance required for professional-grade work. Keep several on hand as a standard stock item for faster job completion and fewer supply runs.
