Bk 103-004NL Hose Bibb 3/4 in Mip Male Hose Thread Low Lead

Product Description

The BK 103-004NL is a low-lead brass hose bibb designed for outdoor water supply connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It features a 3/4-inch male iron pipe (MIP) inlet and a 3/4-inch male hose thread outlet, allowing direct connection to threaded pipe risers and standard garden hose fittings. The tee-style handle provides a firm, tool-free grip for manual operation. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 125 psi, this bibb is suited for typical municipal supply pressures. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this fitting as part of exterior wall hydrant assemblies or irrigation supply points.

This hose bibb is used in residential and light commercial applications where a threaded pipe stub-out requires a hose-thread termination. Common install scenarios include exterior wall penetrations, utility rooms, and crawlspace water supply risers. The low-lead brass construction meets compliance requirements for potable water systems in jurisdictions that enforce lead-reduction standards for plumbing fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
