Bmi Usa 4991 Brass Nipple 2x9 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4991 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in plumbing systems where potable water safety and corrosion resistance are required. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 9 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between pipe sections, valves, and fittings. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, it delivers the durability and pressure handling expected in both residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers specify lead-free brass fittings wherever local codes mandate compliance with safe drinking water standards.

This nipple is suited for water supply, distribution, and general plumbing applications where threaded brass connections are called for. Its 9-inch body length makes it useful in close-quarters installations requiring a short run between two threaded components, such as connecting a valve to a supply stub-out or bridging fittings within a manifold assembly. Typical installations are found in residential plumbing, commercial mechanical rooms, and irrigation supply lines.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water requirements for potable water systems
• 9-inch body length provides adequate reach for close-to-mid-range threaded connections
• Red finish aids identification on job sites with mixed material piping
• Threaded ends allow tool-based make-up with standard pipe wrenches and thread sealants
• Weighs 1.96 pounds, indicating substantial wall thickness for pressure-rated service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation brass threaded nipple for residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring 2-inch NPT connections in lead-free applications.

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 making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a snug, leak-free fit without over-torquing brass threads. Inspect the completed connection for leaks before returning the system to service.
