Bmi Usa 4435 Brass Nipple 0.5 X 3.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4435 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing systems where potable water safety and reliable connections are required. Machined from solid brass with a red finish, this nipple measures 0.5 inches by 3.5 inches and features threaded ends for secure, leak-resistant joints. Weighing 0.24 pounds, it is a straightforward, durable fitting suited to close-quarter pipe connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on nipples like this for joining sections of pipe in both supply and distribution lines throughout residential and light commercial plumbing installations.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, particularly in domestic water supply lines where lead-free materials are required by code. The 0.5-inch by 3.5-inch dimension makes it well-suited for tight spaces where a close or short nipple would be too short but a longer pipe run is unnecessary. It is commonly installed at fixture supply connections, shutoff valve outlets, and similar low-clearance plumbing points.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• Red finish for quick visual identification in the field
• 0.5-inch diameter by 3.5-inch length for close-quarter installations
• Threaded ends for standard NPT-compatible connections
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds for easy single-hand handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 0.5-inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial water supply applications.

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 relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can crack or distort the threads. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure.
