Bmi Usa 6017 Brass Coupling 3/8 X 1/8 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6017 is a lead-free brass threaded coupling designed to connect two pipe sections of different sizes in plumbing and fluid-handling systems. The fitting transitions from a 3/8-inch connection to a 1/8-inch connection, making it suitable for reducing or adapting threaded pipe runs. Constructed from solid brass, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both water supply and low-pressure applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work where a compact, durable threaded reducer is required.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where threaded pipe connections are used. It is commonly installed in water supply lines, compressed air distribution, and similar fluid systems that require a reduction from 3/8-inch to 1/8-inch pipe threads. The lead-free construction meets drinking water compliance standards, making it appropriate for potable water applications wherever local codes mandate lead-free fittings.

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 an appropriate thread sealant tape or compound to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
