Bmi Usa 4145 Lead-free Brass Nipple 1/8 X 4.5 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4145 is a lead-free brass pipe nipple designed for use in plumbing and fluid-handling systems where material safety and corrosion resistance are required. This nipple measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, making it suited for tight-clearance installations and low-flow connection points. The brass construction provides reliable durability in both water and gas service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of supply runs, manifold assemblies, and branch connections throughout residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a short, small-diameter threaded connection is needed. Its lead-free brass composition makes it compliant with potable water system requirements. Typical applications include water supply branches, boiler trim connections, pressure gauge ports, and similar low-volume threaded fittings in pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety standards
• 1/8 inch nominal pipe diameter for small-bore threaded connections
• 4.5 inch length suits short-run and close-clearance installations
• Red finish for quick visual identification in mixed-fitting assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded brass nipple for use in 1/8 inch NPT plumbing and piping systems. Suitable for residential and light commercial applications requiring lead-free fittings.

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 depressurize the line before threading the nipple into place. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
