Bmi Usa 6203 Brass 45 Degree Lead-free Threaded Fitting

Product Description

The BMI USA 6203 is a 3/8 inch, 45-degree lead-free brass threaded fitting designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Machined from solid brass, it provides a reliable angled connection for water supply lines and similar piping applications. The lead-free construction meets current potable water compliance standards, making it appropriate for drinking water and domestic hot and cold supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. At 0.14 pounds, the fitting is compact and lightweight, suited for tight-space installations where a directional change in line routing is required.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 45-degree directional change is needed on a 3/8 inch threaded line. Common applications include water supply connections at fixtures, valves, and shutoffs. The threaded design allows for straightforward hand-start installation followed by wrench tightening, without the need for solder or crimping tools. It is well suited to repair, retrofit, and new construction plumbing work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing the existing fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly, and tighten with an appropriately sized wrench — do not overtighten brass threads, as this can crack the fitting body. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure.
