Bmi Usa 4769 Brass Nipple 1-1/4 X 9 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4769 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general fluid-handling systems. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, this nipple measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, making it well suited for applications requiring a longer close-coupled connection between fittings, valves, or fixtures. At 1.43 pounds, it carries the mass expected of a full-length brass nipple in this size. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This nipple is appropriate for threaded pipe systems where a 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe size connection is required and a 9-inch extension between components is needed. Typical installations include supply branch lines, boiler connections, water heater piping, and general service plumbing runs. The lead-free construction makes it compliant for use in potable water systems as required by applicable plumbing codes. It is intended for use by licensed plumbing professionals on both new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size with 9 inch overall length
• Red finish for quick visual identification during installation
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connections to fittings, valves, and fixtures
• Solid brass material provides corrosion resistance in water service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded brass nipple for use in standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to appropriate engagement — do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure.
