Bmi Usa 4545 Lead Free Brass Nipple 3/4 X 4.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4545 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid-handling systems. This fitting connects two female-threaded ports and is manufactured from solid brass with a red finish, making it suitable for both residential and light commercial plumbing applications. At 4.5 inches in length with a 3/4-inch nominal pipe size, it provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection in supply lines, distribution manifolds, and similar piping assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of standard threaded piping work.

This nipple is well suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where lead-free compliance is required, such as potable water supply lines, fixture connections, and mechanical room piping. Its brass construction provides long service life in wet environments and holds up to the pressure and temperature ranges typical of residential water systems. The red finish aids in quick visual identification during installation and inspection.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
