Bmi Usa 6404 Brass Tee Fitting 1/2 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6404 is a lead-free brass tee fitting designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and mechanical systems. This 1/2 inch tee provides a three-way split in a run of threaded pipe, allowing flow to be directed in two directions from a single line. Machined from solid brass, the fitting is well-suited for potable water, hydronic, and general-purpose plumbing applications. Its lead-free construction meets current safe drinking water standards, making it appropriate for installations involving domestic water supply. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

The 6404 brass tee is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 1/2 inch threaded branch connection is required. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, hydronic heating branch lines, and general mechanical piping where a threaded tee fitting is called for. The fitting accepts standard NPT threaded connections on all three ports.

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 any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly.
