Malleable iron construction gives the fitting the ductility needed to absorb vibration and mechanical stress without cracking, while the extra heavy wall thickness provides added pressure capacity over standard fittings. The black finish is standard for gas service applications. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this fitting where a branch connection is required in a straight run of threaded pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, steam distribution, and compressed air systems where extra heavy malleable iron fittings are specified. The 3\/8-inch size fits standard NPT-threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter. Extra heavy class fittings are commonly called out on job specs that require heavier wall stock than standard 150-class fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy malleable iron construction for increased pressure and mechanical durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas service piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch nominal size with standard NPT-threaded connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDuctile malleable iron resists cracking under vibration and stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded 3\/8-inch NPT pipe systems requiring extra heavy class malleable iron tees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where required. Shut off gas or system pressure and verify the line is depressurized before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench to achieve a secure, leak-free joint without stressing the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\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\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 20403\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344228548914,"sku":"20403","price":21.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553754.jpg?v=1782032278","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-20403-black-malleable-iron-pipe-tee-3-8-in-xh","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
