Bmi Usa 4011 Brass Threaded Nipple 3 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4011 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and general fluid-handling systems. At 3 inches in length, this close-tolerance fitting provides a reliable, leak-resistant threaded connection between pipes or fittings. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability suited to both residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Lead-free compliance makes this nipple appropriate for use in drinking water systems where low-lead or lead-free material standards apply. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in a wide range of plumbing installations including water supply lines, hot and cold distribution systems, boiler connections, and irrigation headers. It is well suited for residential and commercial applications where a short, externally threaded pipe section is needed to join two fittings, valves, or threaded ports. The 3-inch length accommodates installations that require a modest standoff between connection points.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water system use
• 3-inch length provides a standard offset between threaded connections
• Red finish for easy visual identification in the field
• Externally threaded on both ends for direct fitting-to-fitting or valve connections
• Corrosion-resistant brass material suited to hot and cold water service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded brass nipple for use with standard NPT-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded brass nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installation. Apply an approved thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before making up the connection. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as brass can crack under excessive force.
