Merit Brass XNL187-32 Pipe Union 2 in Fnpt 125 Lb Brass

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS XNL187-32 is a 2-inch nominal brass pipe union with female NPT (FNPT) end connections rated at 125 lb. Pipe unions allow sections of threaded pipe to be connected and disconnected without rotating the pipe itself, making them a standard fitting in plumbing, hydronic, and gas distribution systems. The union is constructed from brass with a rough finish and is manufactured as an import product. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in applications where routine servicing or component removal is required.

This union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and low-pressure fluid distribution systems where 2-inch threaded connections are specified. The FNPT end style is compatible with standard male NPT threaded pipe and fittings. The 125 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for domestic water, low-pressure steam, and similar service conditions where a reliable, reusable threaded union joint is required.

Key Features

• 2-inch nominal size with FNPT end connections for standard threaded pipe
• 125 lb pressure rating suitable for low-pressure water and steam service
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in water and mild fluid service
• Rough finish union design allows disconnection without rotating adjoining pipe
• Three-piece union body for easy field assembly and future servicing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch nominal threaded piping systems using standard NPT connections rated at 125 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before cutting into or threading onto any existing piping. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Hand-tighten the union nut before applying wrench torque to avoid cross-threading the brass seat.
