Bmi Usa 4992 Brass Pipe Nipple Lead Free 2x10

Product Description

The BMI USA 4992 is a lead-free brass pipe nipple designed for threaded plumbing connections in potable water, hydronic, and general-purpose piping systems. Measuring 2 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, this nipple provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe assemblies. The red finish indicates lead-free brass construction, meeting safe drinking water standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial applications where a durable, code-compliant threaded extension or close connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where NPT-threaded connections are standard. Typical applications include water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, boiler connections, and irrigation manifolds. The 10-inch length makes it appropriate for situations where a standard close or short nipple is not adequate and a measured extension between two threaded components is needed. It is compatible with standard NPT female-threaded fittings and valves of the same nominal pipe size.

Key Features

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 approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using appropriate pipe wrenches without over-torquing the brass threads. Verify system pressure and inspect for leaks after returning the line to service.
