Bmi Usa 20002 Black Pipe Coupling 1/4 Inch Extra Heavy

Product Description

The BMI USA 20002 is a 1/4-inch extra-heavy black malleable iron pipe coupling designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and strength needed to handle high-stress installations where standard-weight fittings are not rated for the application. The black finish indicates this coupling has not been galvanized, making it a common choice for gas piping, steam lines, and industrial applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting as part of threaded iron pipe systems.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where extra-heavy-rated fittings are specified. Extra-heavy malleable iron couplings are commonly used in gas distribution lines, steam systems, and compressed air piping where higher wall thickness and pressure ratings are required. This fitting connects two sections of threaded pipe in a straight run and is installed per applicable codes including IFGC and IPC for gas and plumbing applications respectively.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy malleable iron construction for greater wall thickness and durability compared to standard-weight fittings
• 1/4-inch pipe size for use in small-diameter threaded iron pipe systems
• Black finish suitable for gas piping, steam, and industrial service
• Threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe threads for secure mechanical connection
• Compact and lightweight at 0.16 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for use in 1/4-inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems, including gas, steam, and compressed air applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and standards such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service before threading the coupling onto pipe. Do not over-tighten, as excessive force can crack malleable iron fittings.
