Bmi 4420 Brass Nipple 1/2 X 2 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI 4420 is a lead-free brass nipple used to create threaded pipe connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical systems. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length, it serves as a short-run connector between threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports. The lead-free brass construction meets current potable water standards, making it appropriate for both water supply and non-water mechanical applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use nipples like this for close or short-offset connections where a full pipe run is not practical. At 0.06 pounds, it is a lightweight, compact fitting suited for tight installation spaces.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems wherever a 1/2 inch threaded male-to-male connection is required. Typical applications include connecting shutoff valves, unions, tees, and equipment inlets or outlets. Its lead-free designation makes it compliant for use in potable water systems in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free fitting requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act amendments.

• 1/2 inch nominal pipe size with 2 inch overall length

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or removing threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or approved pipe compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten to a wrench-tight fit. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for lead-free fittings in potable water systems.
