Bmi Usa 20405 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 20405 is a 3/4 inch extra heavy malleable iron black pipe tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. Constructed from extra heavy (XH) malleable iron with a black finish, this tee provides a robust, durable connection point where a branch line must be taken off a main run. The extra heavy wall thickness makes it suitable for higher-pressure applications where standard-weight fittings are not appropriate. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers of this fitting in both residential and commercial settings.

This tee is used in 3/4 inch threaded black iron pipe systems commonly found in natural gas distribution, propane supply lines, steam systems, and industrial fluid piping. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications and provides a degree of surface protection. It is suited for both residential service work and light commercial mechanical rooms where threaded iron pipe assemblies are specified or required by code.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for higher-pressure and heavy-duty service
• Black finish standard for gas and steam piping applications
• 3/4 inch threaded connection on all three ports for standard NPT pipe
• Malleable iron material allows for reliable threading engagement and long service life
• Compact tee geometry allows branch takeoffs in tight mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with 3/4 inch black iron pipe in standard NPT threaded piping assemblies typical of gas, steam, and mechanical fluid systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded black iron pipe fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before disassembling any threaded joint. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten connections, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
