Bmi Usa 20005 Black Xh Malleable Iron Pipe Coupling 3/4 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 20005 is a 3/4-inch extra heavy (XH) black malleable iron pipe coupling designed for joining threaded pipe sections in demanding plumbing and piping systems. Malleable iron construction gives this coupling the toughness required for high-pressure or heavy-duty service conditions where standard-weight fittings are not appropriate. The black finish indicates it is uncoated and suitable for gas piping, industrial plumbing, and similar applications where galvanized fittings are not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this type of fitting.

This coupling is suited for residential and commercial piping installations where extra heavy rated fittings are specified. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, steam systems, compressed air distribution, and general industrial plumbing. The 3/4-inch size accommodates standard NPT threaded pipe of that diameter. It is appropriate wherever the system design, local code, or inspector calls for XH-rated malleable iron fittings rather than standard weight.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for demanding service conditions
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and industrial plumbing applications
• 3/4-inch pipe size with standard NPT threaded connections
• Compact, durable fitting geometry for straightforward pipe joining
• Weighs 0.65 pounds — easy to handle during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock fitting for 3/4-inch NPT threaded pipe systems requiring extra heavy malleable iron couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code (IPC), or IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off and depressurize the supply line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before threading the coupling onto pipe. Do not over-tighten with power tools, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
