Bmi Usa 6496 Brass Threaded Tee 2x2x1 Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6496 is a lead-free brass threaded tee fitting designed for use in plumbing distribution systems. This tee connects three threaded pipe runs in a branch configuration, with two 2-inch end ports and one 1-inch branch port. Constructed from solid brass, it provides reliable corrosion resistance and durability in potable water and general plumbing applications. The lead-free construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for use in domestic water supply lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded branch connection is required. Typical applications include water supply distribution, hot and cold water lines, and similar fluid-handling systems that call for a reducing tee configuration. The 2-inch by 2-inch by 1-inch sizing accommodates a branch takeoff from a 2-inch main line down to a 1-inch supply run.

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 relieve system pressure completely before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as brass fittings can crack under excessive torque.
