Bmi Usa 4989 Brass Threaded Nipple 2x7 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4989 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water and general plumbing supply systems. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 7 inches in length, this nipple connects sections of threaded pipe and fittings in both residential and light commercial applications. Its solid brass construction provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability under standard service pressures. At 1.34 pounds, it is a robust, full-weight fitting suitable for permanent installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters specify lead-free brass nipples wherever potable water contact requires compliance with lead-free standards.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, including domestic water supply, irrigation headers, and HVAC hydronic distribution lines. It is commonly installed in supply risers, manifold assemblies, and close-coupled fitting runs where a 7-inch threaded extension is needed. The red finish aids in quick identification on the job site or at the supply counter.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water contact requirements
• 2-inch nominal diameter with 7-inch body length for extended threaded connections

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using pipe wrenches — do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged. Verify the system is leak-free before returning it to service.
