Bmi Usa 20310 2.5 Inch 90 Degree Extra Heavy Pipe Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 20310 is a 90-degree pipe elbow manufactured from extra heavy malleable iron and finished in black. This fitting is designed for use in pressure piping systems where standard-weight fittings are not sufficient for the application demands. The extra heavy wall construction provides greater mechanical strength and pressure capacity compared to standard or heavy classifications. At 5.52 pounds, this is a robust, full-bodied fitting built for demanding industrial and commercial piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary trades that specify and install this class of fitting.

This 2.5-inch 90-degree elbow is suited for directional changes in threaded pipe runs across commercial, industrial, and mechanical room applications. Extra heavy malleable iron fittings are commonly specified on steam, compressed air, gas, and high-pressure water distribution systems where service conditions require heavier-rated components. The black finish is standard for non-galvanized malleable iron and is typical in above-ground mechanical and industrial piping.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for high-pressure and demanding service conditions
• 90-degree elbow configuration for right-angle directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size to match standard NPT threaded pipe
• Black finish standard for non-galvanized malleable iron applications
• Robust 5.52-pound unit weight reflecting full extra heavy wall thickness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch threaded pipe systems requiring extra heavy malleable iron elbows.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or ASME B16.3 standards for malleable iron fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to proper engagement using pipe wrenches. Do not over-torque, as this can crack the fitting body.
