Bmi Usa 6453 Brass Pipe Tee 1-1/4x1-1/4x1 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6453 is a lead-free brass branch tee fitting designed for use in potable water and general plumbing distribution systems. This tee connects a 1-1/4 inch run on both the inlet and outlet ends with a 1-inch branch outlet, making it a standard reducing branch configuration. Weighing 1.21 pounds, the fitting is manufactured from solid brass, providing reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water lines. Lead-free construction meets current regulatory requirements for drinking water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This branch tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 1-1/4 inch main line requires a 1-inch branch takeoff. Typical applications include domestic water supply headers, recirculation loops, and in-wall rough-in plumbing. The solid brass body handles standard residential water pressures and temperatures without degradation. It is also appropriate for use in hydronic heating distribution where brass fittings are specified.

• Lead-free brass construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance requirements for potable water systems
• 1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch x 1 inch reducing branch configuration for common header-to-branch transitions

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the line before beginning work. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
