Bmi Usa 6040 Brass Coupling 2x1.5 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6040 is a lead-free brass threaded coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters in plumbing and mechanical systems. This reducer coupling steps down from a 2-inch connection to a 1-1/2-inch connection, making it a practical solution wherever a straight-run pipe reduction is required. Constructed from brass, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both hot and cold water service. At 1.28 pounds, the fitting is solid and well-suited for professional installation in commercial or residential applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of threaded fitting.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a threaded pipe reduction is needed between 2-inch and 1-1/2-inch pipe runs. Typical applications include water distribution lines, supply headers, and mechanical room piping. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water systems, making it appropriate for use in drinking water supply lines where lead-free compliance is mandated.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by a licensed plumber using pipe wrenches and thread sealant tape or compound applied to the male threads before assembly. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Installation in potable water systems should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards.
