Bmi Usa 6498 Brass Tee 2x2x1/2 Lead Free Threaded

Product Description

The BMI USA 6498 is a lead-free brass threaded tee fitting designed for use in potable water, plumbing, and hydronic piping systems. With a 2-inch by 2-inch by 1/2-inch configuration, it allows a branch takeoff from a main run without sacrificing flow integrity. Constructed from solid brass, this fitting delivers reliable corrosion resistance and durability in both residential and light commercial applications. Its threaded ends accept standard NPT connections, making installation straightforward for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction or retrofit projects.

This tee fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing installations where a lead-free product is required by code. It is commonly used in domestic water distribution, hydronic heating branch lines, and general-purpose piping where a 2-inch main run requires a 1/2-inch branch outlet. The lead-free construction meets requirements for use in potable water systems under current plumbing codes.

• 2 inches x 2 inches x 1/2 inch tee configuration for main-run and branch applications

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 beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded joints, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive torque.
