Bmi Usa 6102 Brass Union 1/4 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6102 is a 1/4-inch lead-free brass union designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems. This fitting creates a removable, pressure-tight joint between two sections of threaded pipe or tubing, allowing for future disconnection without cutting pipe. Lead-free construction meets modern potable water standards, making it appropriate for use in drinking water and other code-regulated applications. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems where periodic service access is required.

This union fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where threaded connections are specified. The 1/4-inch size is commonly found in supply line branch connections, equipment isolation assemblies, and instrument or gauge lines. Its compact profile fits tight installation spaces typical of utility rooms, mechanical chases, and equipment closets.

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water compliance requirements
• 1/4-inch threaded connection for standard NPT pipe assemblies
• Union design allows disassembly without cutting or disturbing adjacent piping

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per local plumbing code requirements and the applicable International Plumbing Code guidelines. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to achieve a snug, leak-free connection without overtightening, which can crack brass fittings.
