Merit Brass XB102-02 Brass Pipe Fitting 1/8 in Fbspt Class 125

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XB102-02 is a Class 125 brass pipe fitting with female British Standard Pipe Taper (FBSPT) connections on both ends. It accepts 1/8 inch pipe threads and is designed for joining threaded pipe runs in low-to-medium pressure plumbing and piping systems. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for water, air, and compatible fluid service. At 0.068 pounds, the fitting is compact and lightweight. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of coupling when connecting or extending small-diameter threaded pipe lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and general mechanical applications where 1/8 inch threaded connections are required. The FBSPT x FBSPT configuration makes it appropriate for coupling two female-threaded pipe ends or for use with threaded male adapters in a system. Its Class 125 pressure rating aligns with standard low-pressure service conditions common in potable water, compressed air, and hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local mechanical code requirements. Shut off supply pressure and relieve system pressure before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to male threads before engagement to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
