Bmi Usa 4007 Brass Nipple 2.5 X 5.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4007 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general-purpose piping systems. Measuring 2.5 inches by 5.5 inches, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Constructed from brass with a red finish, it meets lead-free requirements applicable to drinking water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, retrofit, and repair work across residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where a short, threaded brass connector is needed between two female-threaded components. Its 2.5-inch nominal pipe size and 5.5-inch body length make it appropriate for supply lines, manifolds, and fixture connections. The lead-free brass construction satisfies code requirements in jurisdictions that mandate lead-free materials for potable water contact surfaces.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water systems
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size with 5.5-inch overall length
• Red finish for visual identification in multi-line installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded brass nipple compatible with standard NPT female-threaded fittings, valves, and couplings in 2.5-inch pipe size plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with proper jaw fit to avoid damaging the brass threads.
