Bmi Usa 6273 Brass Street 45 Elbow 3/8 Inch Lead Free Mxf

Product Description

The BMI USA 6273 is a lead-free brass street 45-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded plumbing connections. Configured in a male-by-female (MXF) thread arrangement, this fitting allows a 45-degree directional change within a pipe run without requiring a separate coupling. It is manufactured from brass and meets lead-free material standards applicable to potable water systems. At 3/8 inch, it is sized for common residential and light commercial supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and finish plumbing work.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 45-degree offset is needed in a 3/8 inch threaded line. The male end threads directly into a female fitting or valve, while the female end accepts a standard male-threaded pipe or nipple, reducing the number of fittings required in tight spaces. Typical uses include water supply branch lines, fixture connections, and similar low-pressure threaded plumbing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading this fitting into place. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to the male threads per standard practice. Do not overtighten; use a properly sized pipe wrench and follow standard torque guidelines for brass threaded fittings to avoid cracking.
