Bmi Usa 4078 Brass Pipe Nipple Lead Free 4x9 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4078 is a lead-free brass threaded pipe nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general fluid handling systems. Manufactured from solid brass with a red finish, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection between pipe sections, valves, fittings, and fixtures. At 4 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, it fits standard threaded plumbing assemblies and is well suited for applications where lead-free compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work across residential and light commercial projects.

This nipple is appropriate for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing distribution where a threaded brass fitting is specified. Its lead-free construction supports compliance with applicable safe drinking water regulations, making it a practical choice for any system that contacts drinking water. The 4 inch by 9 inch configuration is a common size in commercial and large residential plumbing assemblies where longer nipple runs are needed to bridge fixtures, valves, or manifold assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly, and tighten fittings using a pipe wrench to a snug, leak-free connection without overtightening. Inspect the joint for leaks after restoring system pressure.
