Bmi Usa 4745 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1-1/4x4-1/2 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4745 is a lead free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general piping systems. This close-pattern nipple measures 1-1/4 inch in diameter and 4.5 inches in length, providing a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, it meets lead free material requirements applicable to drinking water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters specify this type of fitting for both residential and light commercial service work where corrosion resistance and thread integrity are priorities.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations, including supply lines, distribution manifolds, and valve connections. The 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits standard NPT-threaded fittings and valves commonly found in water service and hydronic heating applications. It is appropriate for use where lead free compliance is required under applicable plumbing codes.

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 depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly.
