Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and strength required for high-stress piping systems, while the black finish indicates this union has not been galvanized, making it suitable for gas, steam, and oil service applications. At 11.02 pounds, this is a robust fitting built for industrial and commercial-grade installations. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on medium to large-bore piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis union is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where a 3-inch threaded connection must be broken and reassembled without disturbing the rest of the line. Extra heavy wall ratings make it well suited for steam, gas distribution, compressed air, and similar higher-pressure service lines. It is commonly found in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial process piping installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for high-strength threaded piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-inch pipe size for medium to large-bore installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas, steam, and oil service where galvanized coatings are not appropriate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded union design allows disconnection and reconnection of piping without cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighs 11.02 pounds, consistent with extra heavy wall material thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3-inch threaded pipe systems requiring extra heavy malleable iron unions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before breaking any existing union or installing this fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-tighten the union nut, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701201110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20111\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347657359666,"sku":"20111","price":236.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310554304.jpg?v=1782110746","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-20111-3-inch-xh-black-malleable-iron-pipe-union","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
