Bmi Usa 4017 Brass Lead Free Nipple 3 X 6 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4017 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid distribution systems. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between pipe sections, valves, or fittings in both residential and commercial installations. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and durability suited to high-demand plumbing environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. At 4.24 pounds, the fitting is sized for heavy-duty service in pressure piping applications.

This nipple is suited for use in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing distribution where a lead-free brass fitting is required by code or specification. Its threaded ends accept standard pipe thread connections, making it compatible with common brass, iron, and bronze fittings. The lead-free construction meets requirements for use in systems carrying potable water, including applications subject to state and local lead-content regulations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading the nipple into place. Use thread sealant tape or pipe compound on male threads to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
