Bmi Usa 4620 Brass Nipple 1x2 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4620 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid distribution systems. This close-coupled fitting provides a reliable threaded connection between pipes, valves, and fittings in residential and light commercial applications. Constructed from brass with a red finish, the 4620 measures 2 inches in length and is manufactured to meet lead-free requirements for safe use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters rely on brass nipples like this for their corrosion resistance and strength under pressure in wet service environments.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where a short threaded male connection is needed between two female-threaded components. Typical applications include water supply lines, manifold connections, boiler trim, and valve assemblies. Its compact 2-inch length makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations where a longer nipple would not fit. The lead-free construction makes it compliant for use in potable water systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction suitable for potable water applications
• 2-inch length for compact threaded connections in tight spaces
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with standard threaded ends
• Red finish for quick identification during installation
• Corrosion-resistant brass material for long service life in wet environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded brass nipple for use with 1-inch female-threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

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 threading this nipple into any fitting or valve. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free connection. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
