Bmi Usa 6455 Brass Pipe Tee 1-1/4 X 1-1/4 X 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 6455 is a lead-free brass pipe tee designed for plumbing distribution systems where a branch takeoff is required on a main run. Constructed from solid brass, this tee provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection at a 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1/2 inch configuration, meaning the run ports measure 1-1/4 inches and the branch port measures 1/2 inch. Its lead-free construction meets potable water compliance requirements, making it suitable for domestic water supply installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting type.

This pipe tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reduced branch connection is needed off a 1-1/4 inch main line. Common use cases include supply line distribution, branch feeds to fixtures, and retrofit plumbing work. The 1/2 inch branch outlet is a standard size for fixture supply drops, making this tee a practical choice in new construction and remodel plumbing alike.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before disassembly or fitting installation. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections.
