Bmi Usa 4050 Brass Threaded Nipple 2.5 X 10 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4050 is a lead free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and fluid handling systems. This fitting provides a reliable threaded connection between pipes or fittings in both residential and light commercial plumbing applications. At 2.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, it is suited for installations requiring a longer close nipple in a standard NPT thread configuration. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability under typical plumbing service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is commonly used in water supply lines, manifold assemblies, and general plumbing rough-in work where a lead free brass fitting is required by code. Its threaded ends allow for straightforward connection to standard NPT-compatible valves, couplings, and pipe sections. The 10 inch length makes it well suited for applications where a close or short nipple would not bridge the required distance between fittings.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets drinking water safety requirements
• 10 inch length provides extended reach between fittings or components
• 2.5 inch diameter fits standard NPT threaded connections
• Red finish for identification and corrosion resistance
• Suitable for potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded nipple for standard NPT plumbing systems requiring a lead free brass fitting in 2.5 inch diameter and 10 inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope appropriate for the service fluid to all threaded connections. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can damage brass threads.
