Bmi Usa 4049 Brass Threaded Pipe Nipple 2.5x9 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4049 is a lead-free brass threaded pipe nipple designed for use in potable water and general plumbing distribution systems. Measuring 2.5 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications. At 3.49 pounds, the fitting is substantial and machined to standard NPT thread dimensions for consistent make-up. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of nipple in residential and light commercial systems where lead-free compliance is required by code.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications including supply lines, distribution manifolds, boiler trim, and fixture connections. Its 9-inch body length makes it appropriate for situations where a close or short nipple will not span the required gap between fittings or valves. The lead-free brass construction meets requirements for use in systems carrying drinking water, aligning with standards enforced in most jurisdictions across North America. Plumbers working on potable water systems will find this a straightforward drop-in component for NPT-threaded assemblies.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water service

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for potable water service to the male threads before make-up. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
