Bmi Usa 4725 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1-1/4 X 2-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 4725 is a lead-free brass nipple designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing systems. It serves as a short-run connector between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies, providing a leak-resistant joint when properly installed. The nipple measures 2.5 inches in length and is sized for 1-1/4 inch pipe thread on both ends. Constructed from brass with a red finish, this fitting meets lead-free requirements applicable to potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in supply, distribution, and hydronic piping systems.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a short close or shoulder nipple is needed to connect threaded components. Typical installations include water supply lines, boiler piping, manifold assemblies, and valve connections. The 1-1/4 inch thread size fits commonly used main supply and branch piping in larger residential and small commercial systems. The lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water service where code compliance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
