Bmi Usa 4668 Brass Nipple Lead Free 1x8 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4668 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing systems. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, this nipple connects threaded pipe sections and fittings in both residential and light commercial installations. At 8 inches in length with a 1-inch diameter, it provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection point in supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections. Its lead-free construction meets modern plumbing code requirements for use in drinking water systems.

This nipple is suited for licensed plumbers working on potable water supply, hydronic heating, and general-purpose piping installations. The 1-inch nominal diameter and 8-inch length make it a practical extension fitting in areas where pipe runs require additional reach between threaded components. It is compatible with standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves commonly found in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

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 relieve system pressure before installation. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly and tighten to the fitting using appropriate pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten, as this can crack brass fittings.
