Bmi Usa 6473 Brass Lead Free Branch Tee 1.5x1.5x0.75 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 6473 is a lead-free brass branch tee designed for use in potable water and general plumbing distribution systems. This fitting connects a 1.5-inch run on both ends to a 0.75-inch branch outlet, allowing flow to split or merge at a tee junction. Constructed from solid brass, it meets lead-free material requirements applicable to drinking water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work on residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This branch tee is suited for residential and light commercial water supply piping where a reducing branch connection is needed off a main run. The 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.75 inch configuration is a common size used in main supply lines feeding branch fixtures or sub-distribution headers. It is appropriate for installations governed by standard plumbing codes where lead-free fittings are required for potable water contact.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water contact requirements
• 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.75 inch branch tee configuration for reducing branch connections

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing piping. Ensure all mating pipe ends are deburred and cleaned before making connections.
