Bmi 35497 Black Tee Fitting 2 X 2 X 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The BMI 35497 is a black tee fitting designed for branch connections in piping systems. It features two 2-inch run ports and one 3/4-inch branch port, making it suited for systems that require a reduced-size branch takeoff from a main line. This fitting is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on gas, fluid, or air distribution systems where black iron or steel fittings are specified. At 0.758 pounds, it is a compact, solid-construction fitting appropriate for both new installation and repair work.

This tee fitting is typically installed in residential and light commercial piping systems where a branch line must be teed off a main run. Common applications include natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating supply and return piping. The 2 x 2 x 3/4 inch configuration is a standard reducing branch pattern used when a smaller lateral line branches off a full-size main.

Key Features

• Two 2-inch run ports with one 3/4-inch branch port for reducing branch takeoff
• Black finish typical of black iron or steel fittings used in gas and fluid service
• Compact form factor at 0.758 pounds for easy handling and installation
• Standard tee geometry compatible with threaded pipe assembly practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded pipe systems requiring a 2 x 2 x 3/4 inch reducing tee configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium when assembling threaded connections. Inspect threads on both the fitting and mating pipe for damage before assembly.
