Bmi Usa 4572 Brass Nipple Lead Free 3/4 X 12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4572 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing supply systems where safe drinking water compliance is required. Measuring 3/4 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple serves as a close connection between threaded pipe fittings, valves, and other components. Machined from solid brass with a red finish, it is built for reliable service in potable water, heating, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of new construction or retrofit work on threaded pipe assemblies.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3/4-inch threaded connection is required at extended length. Common applications include water supply risers, boiler trim connections, and distribution manifold runs. The 12-inch body length provides working clearance in tight mechanical spaces where short nipples are not practical. It meets lead-free material requirements for potable water systems in jurisdictions following current plumbing codes.

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 depressurize the line before removal or installation of any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to male threads before assembly and tighten to appropriate make-up using pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque brass fittings, as the material is subject to cracking under excessive force.
