Bmi Usa 4869 Brass Threaded Nipple Lead Free 1.5x9 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4869 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general piping systems. Measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Constructed from brass with a red finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and durability in both residential and light commercial applications. Lead-free construction meets current safe drinking water standards, making it appropriate for installations where potable water contact is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where a 1.5-inch threaded connection is needed at a 9-inch span. Common applications include supply line extensions, manifold connections, boiler piping, and general water distribution rough-in work. The threaded ends allow direct engagement with standard NPT fittings and valves without additional adapters in most configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading in the nipple. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
