Bmi Usa 6206 Brass 45 Degree Elbow 1 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6206 is a lead-free brass threaded 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting provides reliable directional change in threaded pipe runs where a 45-degree angle is required. The lead-free construction meets drinking water compliance standards, making it appropriate for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where space constraints or layout requirements call for a 45-degree directional transition rather than a standard 90-degree turn.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations involving 1-inch threaded pipe. It is commonly installed in supply lines, distribution manifolds, and branch connections where a gradual directional change is needed. The threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe, allowing straightforward integration into existing threaded piping systems without special tools or adapters.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• 45-degree angle provides directional change in tight or angled pipe runs
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connection
• 1-inch nominal pipe size for common residential and commercial supply lines
• Solid brass material resists corrosion in water distribution service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded brass elbow for 1-inch NPT plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or approved pipe compound to male threads before assembly, and hand-tighten before final tightening with a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
