Bmi Usa 6381 Brass Street 90 Elbow Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6381 is a lead-free brass street 90-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems. Street fittings combine a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, allowing direct connection without a separate coupling. Manufactured from solid brass, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting wherever a 90-degree directional change is needed in a threaded line. Its lead-free construction meets current safe drinking water standards.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, hydronic heating lines, and general mechanical piping where a threaded 90-degree turn is required. It is appropriate for potable water systems due to its lead-free brass construction. Typical applications include water supply lines, distribution manifolds, and fixture connection work. The street configuration is especially useful in tight spaces where inserting a standard elbow and a separate nipple would be impractical.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water regulations for potable water use
• Street fitting design with male thread on one end and female thread on the other for compact, direct connections
• 90-degree angle provides a clean directional change in threaded piping runs

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a secure fit without over-torquing brass threads. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
