Bmi Usa 4825 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1-1/2 X 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4825 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general piping systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. The brass construction resists corrosion and handles typical residential and light commercial working pressures. Lead-free compliance makes it suitable for systems carrying drinking water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of routine rough-in and repair work.

The 4825 nipple is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a short threaded extension or offset is needed between components. Common install scenarios include water distribution headers, boiler trim connections, valve extensions, and fixture supply rough-ins. The 1-1/2-inch thread size is frequently encountered in drain, waste, and vent rough-in as well as water supply headers. The red finish identifies the fitting within the BMI Canada product line and aids in visual inventory management on the job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing threaded nipples. Apply a listed thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque applied with pipe wrenches.
