The BMI USA 6806 is a lead-free brass threaded cross fitting designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and hydronic piping systems. This fitting connects four pipe runs at a single junction point, making it a practical choice for branch and distribution layouts in both residential and light commercial applications. Constructed from solid brass, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and durability under normal service conditions.

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 water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-snug plus wrench turns appropriate for brass fittings — avoid overtightening, which can crack brass. Inspect all joints for leaks after restoring system pressure.
