Bmi Usa 4140 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1/8 X 4 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 4140 is a lead free brass close nipple designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Measuring 1/8 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple connects threaded pipe fittings and valves in both supply and return lines. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up in moderate-pressure water service. Lead free compliance makes it suitable for potable water applications where local codes require low-lead materials. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems during rough-in or retrofit work.

This nipple fits 1/8 inch NPT threaded connections and is well suited for water supply lines, gas distribution piping where allowed by code, and general fluid handling applications. The 4 inch body length provides adequate reach between close-spaced fittings and valves. It is a standard-stock fitting used in both new construction and service replacement scenarios across residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to snug with a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
