Bmi Usa 6495 Brass Tee 2x2x1.25 in Lead Free Threaded

Product Description

The BMI USA 6495 is a lead-free brass threaded tee fitting designed for use in plumbing distribution systems where a branch connection is required on a straight run of pipe. Built from solid brass, this tee handles the demands of residential and light commercial water supply applications. The fitting measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 1.25 inches, making it a larger-diameter threaded connection suited for main-line branch work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system modifications, or repair work on threaded pipe systems.

This tee is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems using threaded pipe connections. Its lead-free brass construction meets safe drinking water standards, making it suitable for potable water supply lines. The 2 x 2 x 1.25 inch configuration accommodates a reduced branch outlet off a 2-inch main run, a common arrangement in water distribution headers, manifold systems, and supply branch-offs in mechanical rooms or utility spaces.

• 2 x 2 x 1.25 inch port configuration supports reduced branch outlets off 2-inch mains
• Solid brass material provides corrosion resistance in water supply service

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local adopted plumbing code. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to a snug, wrench-tight fit without over-torquing brass fittings. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure.
