Bmi Usa 4018 Brass Ready Cut Pipe 144 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4018 is a lead-free brass ready cut pipe measuring 144 inches in length and weighing 80.03 pounds. Threaded at both ends for direct connection to fittings, this pipe is manufactured from brass with a red finish and is designed for use in potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing distribution systems. Its lead-free construction meets current safe drinking water standards, making it suitable for installations where water quality compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this pipe in residential and light commercial systems where a pre-cut, ready-to-install length is preferred over field-cut pipe.

This pipe is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing applications including supply lines, distribution runs, and branch connections. At 144 inches, it provides a full 12-foot pre-threaded run that reduces on-site cutting and threading labor. The brass construction handles typical domestic water pressures and is compatible with standard threaded brass, bronze, and iron fittings used throughout the trade.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements
• 144-inch pre-cut length reduces field fabrication time
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard fittings

Compatibility

Designed as a ready-cut threaded brass pipe for use with standard threaded brass, bronze, and iron plumbing fittings in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before connecting or disconnecting any threaded pipe. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections and tighten to a firm, leak-free fit using pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten threaded brass connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
