Bmi Usa 20305 Black Malleable Iron 90 Degree Elbow 3/4 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 20305 is a 3/4-inch extra heavy (XH) black malleable iron 90-degree pipe elbow designed for use in high-demand piping systems. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and strength required to handle mechanical stress and thermal cycling that standard fittings cannot. The 90-degree bend redirects flow at a right angle, making it a standard component in gas, steam, and industrial piping assemblies. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on commercial or industrial pipe runs.

This elbow is suited for use in steam, gas, and industrial fluid piping systems where extra heavy wall thickness is required. The black finish indicates no galvanizing, making it the appropriate choice for natural gas lines, propane distribution, and steam service where galvanized coatings are not permitted or preferred. It fits standard 3/4-inch threaded pipe connections and is commonly used in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and utility piping installations.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) wall rating for higher-pressure and heavy-service piping applications
• Black malleable iron construction for durability and resistance to mechanical stress
• 90-degree bend provides a right-angle change of direction in threaded pipe systems
• Black finish makes it appropriate for natural gas, propane, and steam piping where galvanized fittings are not specified
• 3/4-inch threaded connection compatible with standard NPT pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe fitting for use with 3/4-inch NPT threaded pipe in extra heavy service piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe-thread compound rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if excessive torque is applied without following standard trade practice.
