Bmi Usa 6029 Brass Coupling 1 X 3/8 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6029 is a lead-free brass threaded coupling designed for joining pipe sections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Machined from solid brass, this coupling provides a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection in potable water, hydronic, and general fluid handling applications. The 1-inch by 3/8-inch reducing configuration makes it well suited for transitioning between two different pipe diameters within a threaded piping system. At 0.32 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting that licensed plumbers and pipefitters install as a standard part of system assembly or repair work.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded reducing connection is required between 1-inch and 3/8-inch pipe. Common applications include water supply lines, fixture connections, and hydronic heating distribution manifolds. The lead-free brass construction meets material requirements for potable water service under current plumbing codes, making it appropriate for drinking water systems in new construction and retrofit projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to a secure, leak-free fit. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
