Bmi Usa 20408 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 20408 is an extra heavy, black-finish malleable iron pipe tee rated for 300 lb class service. Designed for use in high-pressure piping systems where standard fittings are undersized for the application, this tee provides a threaded branch connection in a durable, coal-tar-coated finish. At 3.3 pounds, it is built for demanding installations in industrial, commercial, and mechanical piping runs. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this class of fitting where elevated pressure ratings or heavier pipe schedules are required.

The 20408 is suited for 1-1/2 inch threaded pipe runs in black iron piping systems. Common applications include steam distribution, compressed air, gas distribution headers, and other high-pressure fluid systems where extra heavy fittings are specified by code or engineering design. The 300 lb pressure class and extra heavy wall construction make it appropriate for commercial and industrial mechanical rooms as well as process piping environments.

• Black finish suitable for steam, gas, and compressed air piping

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and IPC where relevant. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not exceed the rated pressure class of the fitting in any system application.
