Bmi Usa 4061 Brass Nipple 3 X 8 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4061 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid distribution systems. Measuring 3 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, this close-tolerance fitting provides a reliable threaded connection between pipes, valves, fittings, and other threaded components. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, it is built to handle the demands of professional plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a lead-free brass threaded fitting is required by code. Typical applications include water supply lines, distribution manifolds, boiler connections, and mechanical room piping. The 3-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main supply runs or larger branch lines where flow capacity is a priority. Its threaded ends allow for straightforward installation with standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant or tape.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 8-inch length suits standard spacing between threaded fittings and valves
• 3-inch diameter accommodates high-flow residential and commercial piping runs
• Red finish provides quick visual identification on the job site
• Male threaded on both ends for direct connection to standard fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded nipple compatible with standard 3-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in plumbing and fluid 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 the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten using a properly sized pipe wrench. Avoid overtightening, which can crack fittings or distort threads.
