Bmi Usa 4005 Brass Nipple 2.5 X 4.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4005 is a lead-free brass nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. At 2.5 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable close extension between fittings, valves, and fixtures. Constructed from brass with a red finish, it offers good corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water service. Weighing 1.75 pounds, it is a solid, full-bodied fitting suited for professional plumbing installations where lead-free compliance is required.

This nipple is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications including water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections. Its threaded ends allow straightforward integration with standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters will find this a practical solution for close-coupled connections in potable water systems where lead-free materials are mandated by code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly.
