Bmi Usa 6494 Brass Threaded Tee 2x2x1.5 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6494 is a lead-free brass threaded tee fitting designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and fluid distribution systems. This three-way fitting connects two in-line pipes and one branch line, all via threaded connections, allowing flow to be split or combined at the junction. At 2 inches on both run ends and 1.5 inches on the branch, it suits a wide range of residential and light commercial piping applications. The brass construction provides durability and corrosion resistance. At 2.47 pounds, the fitting carries solid, reliable weight typical of quality brass hardware.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where a threaded branch connection is required off a 2-inch main line. Licensed plumbers install this type of fitting when routing water supply lines, recirculation loops, or other fluid systems that demand a lead-free, durable fitting. The threaded ends allow connection to standard NPT pipe without soldering, making it a practical choice for service and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water safety requirements
• Threaded ends for standard NPT connections — no soldering required
• 2 x 2 x 1.5 inch sizing accommodates a reduced branch off a 2-inch main
• Solid brass material resists corrosion in water distribution service
• Compact tee geometry allows tight installation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded brass tee for standard NPT-threaded residential and commercial plumbing piping systems.

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 the line before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to all male threads before making up the connection — do not overtighten, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque. Verify all joints are leak-free before returning the system to service.
