Bmi Usa 4845 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1.5x4.5 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 4845 is a lead free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and general fluid conveyance systems. Machined from solid brass, this nipple connects two female-threaded fittings or provides a threaded extension in pipe assemblies. At 1.5 inches nominal pipe size and 4.5 inches in length, it fits a wide range of standard plumbing configurations. The lead free construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements, making it appropriate for installations involving potable water lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections. Its brass construction handles both hot and cold water service and performs reliably in indoor plumbing environments where a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded extension is required. The 4.5 inch length provides enough extension to clear fixtures, valves, or structural elements that require offset connections.

• Lead free brass construction for safe drinking water compliance
• 1.5 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading
• 4.5 inch overall length for mid-length extension applications

Compatibility

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 fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can strip or crack fittings when excessive torque is applied.
