Bmi Usa 6708 Brass Ips Counter Flange 1-1/2 in Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 6708 is a lead-free brass IPS counter flange fitting designed for use in pressure piping systems. Constructed from solid brass, this flange provides a secure mating surface where pipe sections or valves must be joined at a fixed connection point. Rated at 150 PSI, it is sized for 1-1/2 inch IPS pipe and stands 0.88 inches in height. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work where flanged connections are specified by design or code.

This counter flange is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using IPS-threaded pipe. It is commonly installed at valve bodies, pumps, and inline equipment where a flanged mating surface is required. The 4-hole bolt pattern allows for standard flange fastening. Its compact height of 0.88 inches makes it appropriate for installations with limited clearance around the connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation of flanged fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Inspect the mating flange face for debris or damage before assembly, and torque flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern to achieve a uniform seal. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as this can cause cracking or thread damage.
