Bmi Usa 4560 Brass Nipple Lead Free 3/4 X 6 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4560 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and related piping systems. At 3/4 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, it provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Constructed from brass with a red finish, this nipple meets lead-free material requirements applicable to drinking water installations. It is a standard close-work fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters across residential and light commercial projects.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing applications where a short, threaded pipe extension is needed between two threaded components. Typical uses include connecting shut-off valves, pressure gauges, water heaters, and supply lines to distribution piping. The 3/4-inch thread size makes it a common fit in main supply and branch line configurations.

Installation Notes
