Bmi Usa 4778 Ready Cut Brass Pipe 1-1/4 in 18 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4778 is a lead-free, ready cut brass threaded pipe nipple sized at 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 18 inches in length. Manufactured from brass with a red finish, this pipe is pre-cut and pre-threaded at both ends, ready to install without additional machining. It is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a reliable, code-compliant, lead-free brass fitting is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of threaded pipe segment in water supply and distribution applications.

This ready cut pipe is suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating connections, and general plumbing distribution systems. Its 18-inch length makes it a common selection for connecting fixtures, valves, and fittings where a longer run of threaded pipe is needed between two connection points. The lead-free construction meets requirements for use in drinking water systems under applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water installation requirements
• Pre-cut and pre-threaded at both ends for direct installation
• 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size fits standard threaded fittings and valves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply fitting compatible with 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and couplings used in residential and commercial 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 making any threaded connections. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten connections with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten brass threaded fittings, as this can cause cracking or thread damage.
