Bmi Usa 20378 Malleable Iron Street 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in Xh

Product Description

The BMI USA 20378 is a 1-1/2 inch extra heavy (XH) malleable iron street 90-degree elbow with a black finish. This fitting accepts a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, allowing it to connect directly to a pipe or fitting without a separate nipple. It is rated for extra heavy service, making it suitable for higher-pressure piping systems in commercial and industrial applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in steam, gas, and water piping systems where standard-weight fittings are not specified. The black finish is standard for gas and steam service.

This fitting is used in commercial and industrial piping installations where a 90-degree directional change is required on a 1-1/2 inch line. The street (male-by-female) configuration is commonly used to reduce the number of fittings required at tight turn locations. Typical applications include steam distribution, natural gas supply piping, compressed air systems, and similar threaded iron pipe systems. Installation follows standard NPT threaded pipe practices as referenced in applicable mechanical and plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for higher-pressure service
• Street configuration — male NPT on one end, female NPT on the other
• 90-degree elbow for perpendicular directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• Black finish suited for gas and steam piping service
• 1-1/2 inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for extra heavy malleable iron threaded pipe systems using 1-1/2 inch NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the system before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
