Bmi Usa 6406 Brass Tee Lead Free 1 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 6406 is a lead-free brass threaded tee fitting designed for use in plumbing distribution and piping systems. Built from solid brass, this 1-inch tee provides a reliable three-way branch connection in pressure piping applications. Its lead-free construction meets current potable water standards, making it appropriate for domestic water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in work, system modifications, and repair jobs where a branch takeoff is required at a threaded connection point.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 1-inch threaded tee connection is needed. Typical applications include water supply distribution, branch lines off main runs, and service connections in both new construction and retrofit work. The threaded design allows installation without soldering tools, making it practical for quick connections in tight spaces or field repairs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to all male threads before assembly, and tighten connections using appropriate pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting body or distort threads.
