Product Description

The BMI USA 4026 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing systems where safe, reliable pipe connections are required. At 5.5 inches in length, this fitting provides a short-run threaded connection between pipes or fittings in water supply and distribution lines. Weighing 5.46 pounds, the 4026 is manufactured from solid brass with a red finish and is suited for professional installation in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on lead-free brass nipples like this one to maintain compliance with safe drinking water standards.

This nipple is appropriate for use in potable water supply lines, recirculation systems, and general plumbing rough-in work where a threaded brass connection is specified. Its lead-free construction makes it compliant with regulations governing materials used in systems that convey drinking water. It is a standard choice for connecting valves, fixtures, and other threaded fittings in both new construction and retrofit installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
