Bmi Usa 6308 Brass 90 Degree Elbow 1.5 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6308 is a lead-free brass 90-degree threaded elbow fitting sized at 1.5 inches. It is designed to redirect piping runs at a right angle in potable water, HVAC hydronic, and general plumbing systems. Constructed from solid brass, this elbow delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in residential and light commercial settings.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 90-degree directional change is needed in a 1.5-inch threaded pipe run. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and general mechanical room plumbing. Its threaded connection style allows straightforward installation without soldering or specialized tooling beyond pipe wrenches and thread sealant.

Installation Notes

Installation should be 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 or removing any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten with pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten, as this can crack the fitting body or damage threads.
