Bmi Usa 6279 Brass Street 45 Elbow Lead Free Mxf

Product Description

The BMI USA 6279 is a lead-free brass street 45-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems. It features a male-by-female (MxF) thread configuration, allowing it to thread directly into a fitting or valve without requiring a separate nipple. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications. Licensed plumbers install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel work, and repair projects where a 45-degree directional change is needed in a threaded piping run.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where lead-free compliance is required by code. The street configuration simplifies tight-space routing by eliminating the need for an additional nipple at one end. It is commonly used in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing applications that require angled directional changes in threaded pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets drinking water compliance standards
• Street fitting design (male x female) reduces the number of components needed in tight runs
• 45-degree angle allows controlled directional change in threaded piping systems
• Solid brass material provides corrosion resistance in hot and cold water service
• Threaded connection type compatible with standard pipe thread fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation street elbow for standard threaded brass plumbing systems requiring lead-free fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as excessive force can crack the fitting body.
