Bmi Usa 4640 Brass Nipple 4 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4640 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple measuring 4 inches in length. Nipples are short sections of externally threaded pipe used to connect two female-threaded fittings, valves, or equipment ports. This 1x4 nipple is machined from brass, which provides corrosion resistance and reliable sealing performance in potable water and general plumbing applications. Its lead-free construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system repairs, or equipment replacements where a short rigid pipe extension is needed between threaded components.

This brass nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It is commonly used in water supply lines, boiler connections, water heater installations, and general pipe assemblies where a 1-inch nominal threaded nipple at 4 inches in length is required. The red finish is characteristic of BMI brass nipple products and aids in identification on the shelf or job site.
