Bmi 35409 2 Inch Malleable Iron Tee Black

Product Description

The BMI 35409 is a 2-inch malleable iron tee fitting finished in black, used to create branch connections in threaded piping systems. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to handle mechanical stress and vibration without cracking, making it a reliable choice for gas distribution, compressed air, and general plumbing applications. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations. Weighing 1.113 pounds and measuring 2.9 inches in length, this tee fits into tight utility spaces while meeting the demands of commercial and residential service work.

This fitting is suited for threaded black iron pipe systems commonly found in natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, and industrial compressed air networks. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas fitters install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit projects where a three-way branch connection is needed on a 2-inch nominal pipe run.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction resists cracking under mechanical stress and vibration
• Black finish meets standard requirements for gas piping applications
• 2-inch nominal pipe size for high-flow branch connections
• Threaded end connections for secure, leak-resistant joints with standard NPT pipe
• Compact form factor at 2.9 inches in length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded replacement or new-installation tee fitting for 2-inch nominal black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting into an existing line. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
