Bmi 35206 Malleable Iron 45 Degree Elbow 1 Inch Black

Product Description

The BMI 35206 is a 1-inch malleable iron 45-degree elbow fitting finished in black. This threaded pipe fitting redirects flow at a 45-degree angle in low-pressure piping systems, making it a standard component in gas, steam, and water distribution lines. Its malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to absorb mechanical stress without cracking, which is critical in systems subject to vibration or thermal cycling. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians routinely install this type of fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This fitting is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a 45-degree directional change is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution, steam lines, and general-purpose water piping. The black finish indicates an uncoated iron surface, which is standard practice for gas-service fittings in accordance with common industry and code conventions. It is appropriate for indoor rough-in work where corrosion exposure is minimal.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction resists cracking under mechanical stress and thermal movement
• 45-degree angle allows directional changes in tight piping layouts
• Black finish is standard for gas-service piping applications
• 1-inch pipe size fits common residential and light commercial line sizes
• Threaded connection type supports standard NPT installation practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-inch NPT threaded pipe systems used in gas, steam, and water distribution piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting threads.
