Bmi Usa 4600 Brass Nipple 1.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4600 is a lead-free brass close nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This 1.5-inch nipple is machined from solid brass and features standard NPT threads on both ends, allowing for direct connection between fittings, valves, or other threaded components. At 0.17 pounds, it is compact and easy to handle during installation. Its lead-free construction meets compliance requirements for potable water applications, making it suitable for use in domestic water supply lines where material standards are enforced.

This nipple is used in plumbing systems requiring a short threaded connector between two female-threaded ports. Typical applications include water supply lines, fixture connections, and valve installations in residential and light commercial builds. It is well-suited for use where a standard close nipple is specified in potable water or general fluid-handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

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 removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPT threads before assembly.
