Bmi Usa 4027 Brass Pipe Nipple 4x6 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4027 is a lead-free brass pipe nipple designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing and mechanical systems. Machined from solid brass, it provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection between threaded fittings, valves, and fixtures. At 6 inches in length and sized for 4-inch pipe, this nipple suits a wide range of commercial and residential applications where lead-free compliance is required. Weighing 5.93 pounds, the fitting reflects the heavy-wall construction typical of quality brass nipples. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of hot or cold water supply systems, gas distribution lines, and industrial process piping where brass is specified.

This nipple is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including domestic water supply, hydronic heating, and process piping installations. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to state and local lead-free mandates. The threaded ends accept standard NPT fittings, allowing straightforward integration into existing systems during new construction or retrofit work.

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 removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before hand-tightening, then wrench-tighten to a snug fit. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack fittings or damage mating threads.
