Bmi Usa 4672 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1x12 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 4672 is a lead free brass threaded nipple measuring 1 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length. This pipe fitting connects two threaded sections of pipe in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Machined from solid brass with a red finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing applications. The full 12-inch length makes it suited for applications requiring an extended pipe connection between fittings, valves, or equipment. Weighing 1.59 pounds, it is a heavy-duty fitting built for long service life. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of threaded nipple.

This nipple is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded male-to-male pipe connection is required. Common applications include potable water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and general fluid conveyance systems. The lead free construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems where lead content restrictions apply. It is well suited for connecting valves, tees, elbows, and other threaded fittings in tight or extended configurations.
