Bmi Usa 4008 Brass Nipple 2.5 X 6 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4008 is a lead-free brass pipe nipple designed for use in threaded plumbing systems where code compliance and material integrity are critical. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple connects threaded pipe runs in a wide range of residential and light commercial applications. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up reliably in both hot and cold water service. At 2.39 pounds, the fitting is solid and machined to standard thread specifications for straightforward field installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This nipple is suited for potable water supply systems, hydronic heating distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its lead-free designation makes it appropriate for installations governed by lead-free plumbing codes, including systems that supply drinking water. The red finish on the fitting aids visual identification during rough-in and inspection. It fits standard threaded connections and is commonly used where a short, rigid extension between fittings or valves is needed.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water systems
• 6-inch length provides a practical extension for threaded pipe runs
• 2.5-inch diameter accommodates larger-diameter supply and distribution lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded brass nipple for standard NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial settings.

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 relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with pipe wrenches to a secure, leak-free fit without over-stressing the fitting. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
