Bmi Usa 4473 Lead Free Brass Ready Cut Pipe 1/2x14

Product Description

The BMI USA 4473 is a lead free brass ready cut pipe nipple measuring 1/2 inch in diameter and 14 inches in length. Designed for use in threaded piping systems, this fitting delivers a reliable, code-compliant connection in potable water and general plumbing applications. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water lines. Weighing 0.84 pounds, it is sized for straightforward handling and installation by licensed plumbers and experienced tradespeople working on residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This ready cut pipe is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a pre-threaded, fixed-length nipple is required. Its 14-inch length makes it appropriate for applications where standard close or short nipples fall short and a longer threaded connection is needed between fittings, valves, or fixtures. The lead free brass material meets requirements for use in potable water systems under applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction suitable for potable water systems
• Pre-threaded ready cut design for direct installation without additional preparation
• 14-inch length provides extended reach between fittings or fixtures
• 1/2-inch nominal pipe size fits standard threaded fittings and valves
• Corrosion-resistant material for long service life in wet environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit nipple for standard 1/2-inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial 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 beginning work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before making up connections. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as excessive force can crack or distort the fitting body.
