Bmi Usa 20311 Black 90 Degree Pipe Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 20311 is an extra-heavy malleable iron pipe elbow with a 90-degree bend, finished in black. Malleable iron construction gives this fitting the strength and ductility needed to handle demanding piping installations across mechanical, plumbing, and industrial applications. The black finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for standard threaded pipe systems. At 8.48 pounds, this is a substantial, heavy-duty fitting built for long service life in high-load or heavy-wall pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or industrial systems are the primary installers of this class of fitting.

This elbow is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. It is appropriate for applications involving gas, steam, water, or air lines where extra-heavy duty rated fittings are specified. The extra-heavy wall rating makes it a common choice for industrial mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and heavy commercial plumbing rough-ins where standard or heavy fittings do not meet the load or pressure requirements of the installation.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy malleable iron construction for high-strength performance in demanding piping systems
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• Black finish for standard corrosion resistance in mechanical and plumbing applications
• Heavyweight at 8.48 pounds, indicating thick-wall, extra-heavy duty classification
• Threaded fitting design compatible with standard NPT pipe threading

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for use in extra-heavy threaded pipe systems. Consult system specifications and local codes to confirm pressure and schedule ratings before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections. Do not over-torque threaded connections in malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
