Bmi 6472 Lead Free Brass Tee 1-1/2 X 1-1/2 X 1 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 6472 is a lead free brass tee fitting designed for use in potable water and general plumbing systems. It connects two run ports at 1-1/2 inches with a reducing branch outlet at 1 inch, making it suitable for branching or reducing flow in a main line. The lead free brass construction meets current drinking water compliance requirements under NSF/ANSI 61 and similar standards. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers during new construction, remodel, and service work on residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

The BMI 6472 is used in plumbing supply lines where a reducing branch connection is needed off a 1-1/2 inch main run. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, branch takeoffs for fixtures, and general pressure piping. The 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 inch configuration handles common residential and light commercial sizing requirements. This fitting works in both horizontal and vertical orientations depending on the system layout.
