Bmi Usa 6016 Brass Coupling 3/8 X 1/4 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6016 is a lead-free brass threaded coupling designed to connect two sections of pipe or tubing in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. The fitting transitions between 3/8-inch and 1/4-inch threaded connections, making it a practical solution for reducing or joining lines of different sizes. Weighing 0.11 pounds, the 6016 is a compact, durable fitting suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling wherever a secure, leak-resistant threaded joint is required. The lead-free construction meets modern potable water safety requirements.

This coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing systems where a threaded 3/8-inch to 1/4-inch connection is needed. Typical applications include water supply lines, fixture connections, and fluid distribution assemblies. The threaded design allows for straightforward installation using standard pipe wrenches or pliers, and the brass construction holds up well in both hot and cold water service environments. It is well suited for retrofit and repair work where an existing fitting needs replacement or a line size transition is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can crack brass fittings or damage threaded seats.
