Bmi Usa 4013 Brass Pipe Nipple 3 in X 4 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4013 is a lead-free brass threaded pipe nipple used to connect or extend sections of pipe in plumbing and mechanical systems. Machined from brass with a red finish, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant joint in water supply, hydronic, and general-purpose piping applications. At 4 inches in length with a 3-inch nominal pipe diameter, it is suited for larger-diameter runs where a short, rigid extension or close coupling is required between fittings, valves, or equipment connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters handle installation in both residential and commercial settings.

This nipple is appropriate for use in domestic water supply systems, hydronic heating and cooling distribution, and light industrial piping where brass fittings meet code requirements. Its lead-free construction makes it compliant with safe drinking water standards, making it a suitable choice for potable water applications. It threads directly into standard NPT-tapped fittings, valves, pumps, and manifolds in 3-inch pipe configurations.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water compliance standards
• Red finish for easy product identification in the field
• 4-inch length suits close-coupling and short-extension piping layouts
• 3-inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT threaded fittings and valves
• Corrosion-resistant brass material performs in water supply and hydronic systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard 3-inch NPT threaded plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for the service fluid to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten brass fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
