Bmi Usa 4593 Red Brass Threaded Pipe 144 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 4593 is a lead-free red brass threaded pipe measuring 144 inches in length and weighing 15.22 pounds. Red brass is a copper-rich alloy known for its corrosion resistance and durability in potable water and general plumbing applications. This pipe is threaded for straightforward connection to compatible fittings and valves without additional fabrication. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of pipe in residential and light commercial water distribution systems where lead-free compliance is required by code.

This pipe is suited for potable water supply lines, hot and cold distribution runs, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its 144-inch length allows for full-run installations with fewer joints, reducing potential leak points. The lead-free construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems under applicable plumbing codes. It is commonly used in residential new construction, remodels, and commercial light plumbing applications where red brass material is specified.

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 cutting into any existing line. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
