Bmi 4740 Brass Pipe Nipple 1-1/4 X 4 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI 4740 is a lead-free brass pipe nipple used to create threaded connections in plumbing systems. Sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple fits between threaded fittings, valves, and fixtures to extend or join piping runs. Brass construction resists corrosion and performs reliably in potable water applications where lead-free compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work on residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This nipple is suited for water supply piping, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections where a 1-1/4-inch threaded male connection is needed. The 4-inch body length provides enough extension for standard offset connections without requiring a coupling and additional pipe segment. Lead-free brass construction meets regulatory requirements for use in systems carrying drinking water.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 1-1/4-inch diameter fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• 4-inch body length suits offset and extension connections in tight spaces
• Corrosion-resistant material extends service life in wet environments
• Threaded male ends on both sides for direct connection between female-threaded components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4-inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this nipple into place. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male threads before assembly to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
