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.

Why Boshart?

Boshart NIPBR2X6NL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Boshart NIPBR2X6NL thread into standard 2 inch threaded valves and fittings?
Yes. The NIPBR2X6NL is a 2 inch nominal trade size nipple with male iron pipe threads on both ends, so it mates with any standard 2 inch IPT valve, fitting, tank port, or pump connection. No adapters or special tools needed, just pipe dope or PTFE tape at each joint.
2) How long is the Boshart 2 inch brass nipple, and is it long enough to space two fittings apart?
It is 6 inches overall, measured end to end including the threads. That gives you real reach between two fittings where a close nipple would butt them together, which is what you want for offsets, valve spacing, or getting a union clear of an adjacent body. Note that the threaded portion at each end goes into the fitting, so the exposed gap between two fittings is less than the full 6 inches.
3) Is a brass pipe nipple better than galvanized steel for well and pump piping?
For pump and well work, brass is the usual choice at threaded joints. The NIPBR2X6NL is machined from solid brass, which resists the rust and scale that build up on galvanized or black steel nipples over time, and brass threads survive repeated tightening and backing off during pump service far better. Galvanized is cheaper and stiffer, so it still gets used on dry or structural runs, but on wet potable and pump connections brass is what holds up.
4) Can I use the Boshart NIPBR2X6NL on a potable water supply line?
Yes, it is intended for potable water distribution along with well and pump piping and general water supply assemblies. The brass body is the reason, it does not rust or scale into the water the way a steel nipple does on a long service life.
5) Is this brass nipple a finished trim piece or does it go behind the wall?
Rough-in only. The NIPBR2X6NL is a connector piece for behind-the-wall and under-floor plumbing assemblies, not a polished or decorative exposed fitting. If the nipple will be visible on a fixture, you want a chrome-plated trim nipple instead.
6) What part number do I order for the Boshart 2 inch by 6 inch brass nipple?
Order Boshart NIPBR2X6NL. That single manufacturer part number covers the 2 inch by 6 inch brass nipple, there are no finish or thread variations to specify with it.
