Bmi Usa 4430 Brass Nipple Lead Free 1/2 X 3 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4430 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid distribution systems. Machined from solid brass with a red finish, this fitting provides a reliable threaded connection between pipes, valves, fittings, or fixtures. At 3 inches in length with a 1/2-inch nominal pipe thread, it suits close-quarter runs where a longer nipple is not needed. Lead-free construction makes it compliant with safe drinking water standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of rough-in and finish plumbing work in both residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a short 1/2-inch threaded run is required. Typical install scenarios include water supply connections to fixtures, valves, pressure gauges, and inline equipment. The lead-free material designation makes it appropriate for potable water service lines. It weighs 0.21 pounds and is easy to handle in confined spaces such as wall cavities, mechanical rooms, and under-sink installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can crack under excessive force.
