Bmi Usa 4450 Brass Nipple 0.5 X 5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4450 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water and general plumbing piping systems. Machined from solid brass with a red finish, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. At 0.5 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length, it fits standard NPT threaded assemblies and is suitable for both new construction and repair work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and finish plumbing phases across residential and light commercial applications.

This nipple is suited for water supply, hydronic heating, and general-purpose plumbing lines where a short threaded extension is needed between two threaded components. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to lead-free compliance requirements. The 0.5-inch size is one of the most common diameters in residential plumbing, making this nipple a practical stock item for service trucks and supply houses alike.

• 5-inch length with 0.5-inch diameter for versatile inline use

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or removing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly.
