The main run measures 1-1\/4 inches with a 1\/2 inch branch outlet, making it suitable for reducing branch configurations in supply and distribution lines. Malleable iron construction provides the strength and ductility needed to handle mechanical stress in threaded piping assemblies. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial and residential black iron pipe systems, including gas distribution, compressed air, and general plumbing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BMI 35455 is used in black iron threaded pipe systems where a reducing tee is needed to branch off a smaller line from a larger main. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, fire sprinkler systems, and industrial plumbing where black iron pipe is specified. The reduced branch connection allows integration of a 1\/2 inch line into a 1-1\/4 inch main run without additional reducers in many configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suited for gas, air, and non-potable water piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inches main run with 1\/2 inch reducing branch outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded connections compatible with standard NPT black iron pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTee configuration supports straight-through flow with a side branch takeoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for black iron threaded pipe systems using NPT connections in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMain Run Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Outlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35455\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306902421810,"sku":"35455","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309548981.jpg?v=1781301981","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-35455-malleable-iron-tee-black-1-1-4x1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
