Bmi Usa 4772 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1-1/4 X 12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4772 is a lead free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general fluid handling systems. Measuring 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. The brass construction offers corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water applications. Its lead free composition meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for installations where potable water contact is mandated by code. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this fitting type.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 1-1/4 inch threaded pipe connection is required. Typical applications include supply lines, branch connections, and riser assemblies in water distribution systems. The 12-inch length accommodates installations requiring an extended reach between threaded fittings or valves without additional couplings. It is also used in hydronic heating, irrigation, and compressed air systems where brass fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack brass fittings or damage female-threaded components.
