Bmi 35204 Malleable Iron 45 Degree Elbow 0.5 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 35204 is a 1/2 inch black malleable iron 45 degree elbow fitting designed for use in threaded pipe systems. This angled fitting redirects pipe runs at 45 degrees, allowing installers to route gas, air, or compatible fluid lines around obstacles without sharp directional changes. Malleable iron construction provides the strength and ductility required for mechanical and low-pressure piping applications. The black finish is standard for gas service installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting as part of threaded black iron pipe assemblies in both residential and light commercial settings.

The BMI 35204 is suited for threaded pipe assemblies where a 45 degree change in direction is needed. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution piping, compressed air systems, and general-purpose black iron pipe runs. The 1/2 inch pipe size makes it a frequent choice for branch lines and smaller distribution runs within mechanical systems. It is installed using standard NPT threading practices with appropriate pipe sealant or thread tape rated for the service medium.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• 45 degree angle for gradual directional changes in pipe runs
• 1/2 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded black iron pipe
• Black finish suitable for natural gas and propane service applications
• Threaded connections compatible with standard pipe assembly tools and sealants

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1/2 inch NPT threaded black malleable iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IFGC or ANSI standards for the service medium. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
