Bmi Usa 4014 Brass Threaded Nipple 3x4.5 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4014 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in pressure piping systems where safe, reliable connections are required. This fitting measures 3 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, constructed from solid brass with a red finish. It features standard threaded ends for direct connection to pipe fittings and valves. Lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple as a short pipe section between two threaded fittings or as a close extension off a valve body or manifold.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including water supply lines, hydronic heating connections, and general-purpose fluid piping. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water service where local codes require compliance with low-lead standards. The 3-inch diameter and 4.5-inch body length accommodate a range of common piping configurations in both new construction and retrofit service work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 3-inch diameter with 4.5-inch body length for standard piping applications
• Threaded ends for direct connection to fittings, valves, and pipe

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
