Bmi Usa 6471 Brass Pipe Tee 1.5x1.5x1.25 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6471 is a lead-free brass pipe tee designed for use in potable water and general plumbing distribution systems. The tee features a 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.25 inch configuration, with the reduced outlet allowing a branch connection at a smaller pipe size than the run. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting provides reliable corrosion resistance and pressure integrity at standard plumbing service conditions. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for use in systems that carry drinking water. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a branch takeoff is needed from a main supply line. The 1.5-inch run connections accommodate standard half-inch and larger supply piping, while the 1.25-inch branch outlet serves reduced-size distribution lines. Typical installation scenarios include domestic hot and cold water distribution, recirculation loops, and general fluid service where brass fittings are specified. The lead-free designation makes this tee appropriate for potable water applications subject to state and federal lead content regulations.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water regulations
• 1.5 x 1.5 x 1.25 inch tee configuration for reduced-branch applications
• Solid brass material provides corrosion resistance in water service
• Suitable for both residential and light commercial plumbing systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1.5-inch run and 1.25-inch branch pipe connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and properly prepared for the joining method being used, whether threaded, sweat, or push-fit. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
