Bmi 46472 Carbon Press Gas Tee 1.5x1.5x1 in

Product Description

The BMI 46472 is a carbon steel press-connect tee fitting designed for natural gas and propane distribution systems. It uses a press-fit connection method, eliminating the need for threading or soldering during installation. The fitting is sized at 1.5 x 1.5 x 1 inches, with two full-size run ports and one reduced branch outlet. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial gas piping applications where press technology is approved by the local authority having jurisdiction.

This tee is suited for new construction and retrofit gas piping projects where press-fit tools are on hand and press fittings are code-accepted. The reduced branch configuration makes it practical for splitting a main gas line run to a smaller branch supply. It is categorized under carbon press gas fittings and is used wherever a tee connection is needed in a press-connect gas distribution system.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with IFGC requirements and all applicable local codes. Shut off the gas supply and verify zero pressure in the line before beginning any fitting work. Use only a press tool and jaw set rated and approved for the specific press fitting system being installed. Inspect the sealing element in each press socket before making the connection and never press a fitting that shows a damaged or missing seal.
