Bmi 46035 Press-fit Carbon Steel Reducing Coupling Gas

Product Description

The BMI 46035 is a press-fit reducing coupling manufactured from carbon steel for use in gas piping systems. It connects a 1.5-inch pipe to a 1.25-inch pipe without threading or soldering, using a press-fit connection method that speeds up installation and reduces the risk of leaks at the joint. This fitting is categorized under carbon press gas fittings and is intended for licensed plumbers and gas fitters working on residential or light commercial gas distribution lines. The press-fit design requires a compatible press tool to complete the connection and create a secure, code-compliant joint.

The BMI 46035 is suited for gas piping applications where a reduction between 1.5-inch and 1.25-inch pipe runs is required. It is used in new construction and retrofit installations where press-fit carbon steel fittings are specified. This coupling is grouped under the carbon press gas fittings category, making it appropriate for natural gas and similar piped gas systems where press-fit carbon steel connections are accepted by local code.

Key Features

• Press-fit connection eliminates threading and soldering at the joint
• Reducing configuration joins 1.5-inch to 1.25-inch pipe in a single fitting
• Carbon steel construction suited for gas piping service
• Designed for use with a compatible press tool for a secure, repeatable connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit carbon steel reducing coupling for gas piping systems where 1.5-inch to 1.25-inch press-fit connections are required.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off the gas supply and verify the line is depressurized before beginning work. A compatible press tool rated for the fitting size and connection type is required to complete the joint. Inspect the fitting and pipe ends for damage or debris before pressing to ensure a leak-free connection.
