Bmi Usa 4300 Brass Lead Free Threaded Nipple 3/8x Close

Product Description

The BMI USA 4300 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and hydronic piping systems. This close nipple measures 3/8 inch in diameter and 1 inch in length, connecting two female-threaded fittings in tight-clearance applications where a standard nipple would not fit. Constructed from brass with a red finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on this type of fitting for water supply lines, manifold assemblies, and fixture connections where compact thread-to-thread coupling is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications including water distribution, hydronic heating, and fixture rough-in work. Its close-pattern configuration makes it ideal for connecting valves, tees, and couplings in confined spaces. The lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for potable water systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water standards
• 3/8 inch NPT threaded ends for standard pipe compatibility
• Close nipple design for minimal clearance installations
• Red finish for quick visual identification in the field
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting compatible with 3/8 inch NPT female-threaded plumbing fittings, valves, and pipe connections in potable water and hydronic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the intended service before threading. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
