Bmi Usa 4077 Brass Threaded Nipple 4x8 Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4077 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing systems where safe, code-compliant water delivery is required. Measuring 4 inches in diameter and 8 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between pipe sections or fittings. Constructed from solid brass, it offers strong corrosion resistance and long service life. Its lead-free construction makes it suitable for potable water applications in residential and commercial plumbing. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This nipple is used in potable water supply lines, hot and cold distribution systems, and general plumbing installations. Its threaded ends allow direct connection to compatible threaded fittings, valves, and pipe sections. The 8-inch length suits applications where a standard close nipple or short extension is not sufficient. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit service work across residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 4-inch diameter with 8-inch body length for extended reach connections
• Threaded ends for secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with appropriate backing support to avoid stress on adjacent fittings.
