Bmi Usa 6408 Brass Tee 1-1/2 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6408 is a lead-free brass tee fitting designed for threaded pipe connections in plumbing and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from solid brass, this 1-1/2 inch tee provides a reliable three-way junction point where flow must be split or combined in a pressurized line. The lead-free construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it suitable for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, retrofits, and repair work on residential and light commercial systems.

This fitting is a standard threaded tee intended for use in water supply, distribution, and general plumbing piping systems. Its 1-1/2 inch size makes it appropriate for main branch lines and sub-mains in residential and light commercial installations. The threaded connection style allows for tool-based installation without specialized joining equipment, fitting into standard NPT-compatible assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply thread sealant tape or paste to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug, leak-free connection using pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten threaded brass fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
