Bmi Usa 20047 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Coupling 2.5x1.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 20047 is an extra heavy black malleable iron pipe coupling rated for high-pressure service. It connects two sections of pipe in a threaded piping system and is built to handle demanding industrial and commercial applications where a standard-weight fitting would be insufficient. The extra heavy wall construction and black finish are standard in steam, gas, and high-pressure liquid distribution systems. At 3.65 pounds, this coupling is a solid, full-bodied fitting suited for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on code-compliant installations.

This coupling is designed for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where extra heavy fittings are specified by code or engineering requirements. Typical applications include steam lines, compressed air distribution, gas piping, and high-pressure liquid systems. The 2.5 inch by 1.5 inch reducing configuration allows a transition between two different pipe sizes within the same run, making it useful in systems that require a step-down in pipe diameter without adding a separate reducer fitting.

Key Features

• Extra heavy malleable iron construction for high-pressure and high-stress piping systems
• Reducing configuration transitions from 2.5 inch to 1.5 inch pipe
• Black finish standard for gas, steam, and industrial piping applications
• Threaded connections for straightforward field installation
• Solid 3.65 pound build indicates full extra heavy wall thickness throughout

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style extra heavy malleable iron fitting compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe in 2.5 inch and 1.5 inch sizes used in commercial and industrial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded malleable iron fittings 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 line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench — do not over-torque, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
