Bmi Usa 6454 Brass Pipe Tee 1-1/4x1-1/4x3/4 Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6454 is a lead-free brass pipe tee designed for joining and branching threaded pipe runs in residential and commercial plumbing systems. With inlet and outlet dimensions of 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 inches, this tee accommodates a full-size run with a reducing branch, making it well suited for distribution lines where flow needs to split to a smaller diameter. Constructed from brass, it offers solid corrosion resistance in both hot and cold water service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting in supply and distribution applications.

This tee fits standard threaded pipe assemblies in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing distribution runs. The lead-free construction meets requirements for use in potable water systems where applicable codes mandate reduced lead content in fittings. The reducing branch size of 3/4 inch makes this a common choice when transitioning from a larger main line to a branch feeding fixtures or zone valves.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fittings. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug fit using appropriate pipe wrenches — do not overtighten brass fittings as this can crack or distort the fitting body. Verify no leaks under normal operating pressure before returning the system to service.
