Bmi Usa 4225 Brass Nipple Lead Free 1/4 X 2.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4225 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. It features a 1/4-inch diameter and a 2.5-inch length, making it a compact fitting suited for tight spaces and close-quarter connections. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable performance in both hot and cold water service. Lead-free compliance makes this nipple appropriate for potable water applications where health and safety codes require it. Licensed plumbers and trade professionals select this type of fitting for supply line work, manifold connections, and similar threaded assembly tasks.

This nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a short, threaded male-to-male connection is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, boiler connections, and fixture rough-ins. Its compact size suits installations where space between fittings or valves is limited. The red finish aids in identification during installation and service.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded brass nipples is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste appropriate for the service type to all male threads before assembly. Tighten to hand-snug plus a quarter to half turn using a pipe wrench — avoid overtightening, which can crack brass fittings or distort threads.
