Bmi Usa 4994 Brass Threaded Nipple 2 in X 12 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4994 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in pressurized plumbing and piping systems. At 2 inches in diameter and 12 inches in length, this close-pattern nipple provides a reliable, leak-resistant connection between threaded fittings, valves, and pipe runs. Machined from solid brass with a red finish, it meets lead-free compliance requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work where a durable, corrosion-resistant threaded connection is required.

This nipple is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations involving water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connections. Its 2-inch diameter makes it appropriate for main supply branches and larger domestic water runs. The lead-free construction makes it compliant for use in potable water systems where applicable codes prohibit lead-containing fittings.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 2-inch diameter x 12-inch length for versatile inline connections
• Threaded ends for straightforward connection to standard threaded fittings and valves
• Red finish for quick identification in the field
• Solid brass material provides corrosion resistance in water service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded brass nipple compatible with standard 2-inch NPT threaded fittings, valves, and pipe connections in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

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 removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
