Bmi Usa 6211 Brass 45 Degree Elbow Fitting 3 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 6211 is a 3-inch lead-free brass threaded 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in pressurized piping systems. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting delivers reliable performance in plumbing and mechanical applications where a 45-degree directional change is required in the pipe run. The lead-free construction meets current potable water compliance standards, making it suitable for domestic water service installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where threaded pipe connections are specified. The 3-inch size accommodates larger-diameter pipe runs typical of main supply lines, building service entries, and mechanical room piping. The 45-degree angle allows for gradual directional transitions, which reduces flow restriction compared to a 90-degree elbow. It is well suited for copper, black iron, or galvanized threaded pipe systems depending on the application.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements
• 3-inch threaded connection for larger-diameter pipe runs
• 45-degree angle provides a gradual directional change with reduced flow restriction
• Threaded ends allow installation without soldering or special tooling beyond a pipe wrench
• Solid brass material offers corrosion resistance in wet service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fitment fitting for 3-inch threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free seal without over-torquing the brass threads. Inspect for leaks upon system repressurization.
