Bmi Usa 4860 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1-1/2 X 6 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4860 is a lead free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing distribution systems. Measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this nipple serves as a short pipe extension or connection between threaded fittings, valves, and other plumbing components. Constructed from solid brass, it provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water applications. Its lead free construction meets drinking water compliance requirements, making it appropriate for potable water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This brass nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 1-1/2 inch threaded connection is required. Typical applications include water supply lines, boiler piping, manifold connections, and fixture supply extensions. The 6 inch length provides enough extension for most standard offset and rough-in configurations. Red finish brass construction is standard for this fitting class.
