Bmi Usa 4530 Brass Nipple 3/4 X 3 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4530 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing systems where safe, reliable pipe connections are required. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 3 inches in length, this close-pattern nipple provides a compact, rigid connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, the 4530 is suited for potable water and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial systems. Its lead-free construction meets modern safe drinking water standards.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial plumbing lines where a short, threaded male-to-male connection is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, valve extensions, manifold assemblies, and service connections. The 3/4 inch thread size is common in main distribution lines, branch takeoffs, and fixture supply configurations. Its compact 3-inch body fits into tight spaces where longer pipe runs are not practical.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded brass nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug fit without over-torquing, which can crack brass fittings. Inspect the connection for leaks after restoring system pressure.
