Bmi Usa 4955 Brass Nipple 2 X 5.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4955 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water and general plumbing systems. This close-pattern nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. At 5.5 inches in length and manufactured from solid brass, it delivers the durability and pressure integrity that plumbing professionals expect on residential and light commercial jobs. The lead-free construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements, making it suitable for potable water applications wherever code-compliant materials are required.

This nipple is used in a wide range of plumbing installations including water supply lines, distribution manifolds, boiler piping, and fixture connections. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial plumbing work where a short-run threaded extension or fitting-to-fitting connection is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters will find it appropriate for both new construction and retrofit service calls requiring a 2-inch male NPT connection at 5.5 inches of body length.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water standards for potable water systems
• 5.5-inch length provides adequate reach for standard nipple applications between fittings and valves
• Red finish for easy identification in multi-line piping assemblies
• Threaded ends for direct connection to standard NPT female fittings and valves
• Solid brass material resists corrosion and maintains integrity under typical water system pressures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use brass nipple for 2-inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is 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 removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
