Bmi Usa 4872 Lead Free Brass Nipple 1.5x12 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 4872 is a lead free brass threaded nipple measuring 1.5 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length. It is used to connect two female-threaded fittings or extend a pipe run in residential and commercial plumbing systems. The red brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in water supply applications. Lead free compliance makes it suitable for potable water service where local codes require it. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for use in water distribution, hydronic heating, and general plumbing piping systems in both residential and light commercial environments. The threaded ends allow for straightforward installation into standard pipe fittings and valves. At 12 inches in length, it works well as a close extension or spacer between fittings where a shorter nipple would not reach.

Key Features

• Lead free brass construction meets potable water installation requirements
• 12 inches in length provides reach for extension and offset connections
• 1.5 inch diameter fits standard pipe fittings and valves
• Red brass material offers corrosion resistance in wet service conditions
• Threaded ends allow tool-only installation with no soldering required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded brass nipple for standard 1.5 inch NPT plumbing fittings, valves, and pipe connections in water supply systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free connection. Do not over-torque, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive force.
