Bmi Usa 4740 Brass Nipple 1-1/4 X 4 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4740 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple used to create short pipe extensions and connections in plumbing systems. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant joint between fittings, valves, and fixtures. At 4 inches in length and sized for 1-1/4 inch pipe, it suits a range of residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The lead-free construction meets modern potable water requirements, making it appropriate for use in supply lines where water quality compliance is required. Plumbers and pipefitters handle installation as part of standard threaded assembly work.

This nipple is designed for use in threaded plumbing assemblies where a short, rigid pipe extension is needed between two fittings or between a fitting and a valve. It is commonly used in water supply lines, drain connections, and mechanical room piping. The 1-1/4 inch size fits standard Schedule 40 pipe thread configurations and is well suited for residential water distribution and light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to a secure fit without over-torquing the brass threads. Local plumbing codes under the IPC or applicable state code should be consulted to confirm material and lead-free compliance requirements for potable water service.
