Bmi 6040 Brass Coupling 2 X 1.5 Inches Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI 6040 is a lead-free brass coupling designed to join pipe sections in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Sized to connect a 2-inch line to a 1.5-inch line, this fitting provides a reliable, pressure-capable transition between two common pipe diameters. The lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for potable water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling during new construction, renovation, and repair work across a wide range of plumbing applications.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a reducing connection between 2-inch and 1.5-inch pipe is required. Typical applications include supply line transitions, branch connections, and repair scenarios in both hot and cold water systems. Its brass construction handles the pressures and temperatures standard to domestic water distribution without degradation from common water chemistries.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water standards for potable water use
• Reduces from 2 inches to 1.5 inches for common pipe diameter transitions
• Brass material provides corrosion resistance in standard water supply service
• Compact coupling form factor for straightforward field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and commercial plumbing systems requiring a 2-inch to 1.5-inch brass reducing coupling.

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 beginning any fitting work. Use appropriate thread sealant or pipe joint compound rated for brass fittings and potable water service. Inspect threads on both male pipe ends before assembly to ensure proper engagement and a leak-free connection.
