Bmi Usa 4465 Brass Nipple 1/2 X 6.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4465 is a lead-free brass nipple designed for use in threaded pipe assemblies across plumbing and light mechanical applications. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 6.5 inches in length, this nipple connects two female-threaded fittings or serves as an extension in close-quarter piping runs. The red finish identifies the part at a glance for inventory and inspection purposes. At 0.49 pounds, it is lightweight enough for single-handed installation while still delivering the corrosion resistance and durability expected from brass construction. Lead-free compliance makes it suitable for potable water service where applicable codes require it.

This brass nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including water supply lines, boiler piping, and general threaded pipe connections. The 1/2-inch nominal pipe size is one of the most common diameters in residential water distribution, making this nipple a standard replacement or new-installation fitting for licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters working on a wide range of system configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or local authority having jurisdiction. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a secure, leak-free connection without over-torquing the brass threads. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
