Bmi Usa 6208 Brass 45 Degree Elbow 1.5 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6208 is a lead-free brass 45-degree threaded elbow fitting sized at 1.5 inches. It is designed for use in potable water supply lines, plumbing distribution systems, and hydronic piping where a directional change is required without a full 90-degree turn. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both residential and light commercial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters select this type of fitting for its dependable thread engagement and compliance with lead-free requirements for drinking water systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where 1.5-inch threaded pipe connections are used. Typical applications include water supply distribution, branch line offsets, and in-line directional changes within pressure plumbing systems. The 45-degree angle allows for gradual directional transitions that reduce turbulence and pressure loss compared to sharper 90-degree bends. It is appropriate for use in new construction and retrofit plumbing projects.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water service
• 45-degree angle provides gradual directional change to minimize flow restriction
• 1.5-inch threaded connection for compatibility with standard pipe threading
• Solid brass material offers corrosion resistance and mechanical durability
• Weighs 1.13 pounds, indicating substantial wall thickness and build quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded brass fitting for use with standard 1.5-inch NPT-threaded pipe in residential and commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-snug — do not overtighten brass fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
