Boshart NIPBR2X6NL 2" x 6" Brass Pipe Nipple

Boshart NIPBR2X6NL 2" x 6" Brass Pipe Nipple

The Boshart NIPBR2X6NL is a 2" x 6" brass pipe nipple built for rough-in plumbing connections where a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded transition piece is required. Machined from solid brass, this nipple is threaded on both ends to join with standard iron pipe thread (IPT) fittings, valves, and other threaded plumbing components. At 2" nominal trade size and 6" overall length, it is sized for use as an extension or offset piece between fittings on water supply lines, pump connections, or other threaded plumbing assemblies where a longer reach is needed than a standard close nipple provides. Brass construction gives this nipple strong resistance to corrosion compared to standard steel or galvanized pipe nipples, making it a preferred choice for plumbers and contractors working on potable water distribution, well and pump piping, and other applications where long-term durability at threaded joints is a priority.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 2" nominal pipe thread size for compatibility with standard 2" threaded fittings, valves, and pipe.
• Length: 6" overall length provides extended reach between fittings where a standard close nipple is too short.
• Durable Construction: Solid brass material resists corrosion, making it well suited for water piping and other applications where steel or galvanized nipples would be prone to rust and scale buildup over time.
• Threaded Connection: Male threads on both ends allow quick, secure assembly with threaded valves, tanks, pumps, and other IPT-threaded plumbing fittings without special tools.
• Brass Alloy Benefits: Brass offers strength and machinability while standing up to the wear of repeated tightening and loosening at threaded joints during service or maintenance.
• Rough-In Ready: Designed as a behind-the-wall or under-floor connector piece for plumbing assemblies, not a finished or decorative fixture component.
