Bmi Usa 20453 Black Malleable Iron Tee 1-1/4x1-1/4x1 Xh

Product Description

The BMI USA 20453 is an extra-heavy black malleable iron pipe tee designed for high-demand piping systems where standard fittings are insufficient. This tee features a 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 1 inch reducing configuration, allowing a branch connection off a main run with a step-down outlet. The black finish is standard for gas distribution and industrial piping applications. Weighing 2.03 pounds, this fitting is built to handle elevated pressure and mechanical stress. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of threaded malleable iron fitting.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial gas piping, steam, air, and other compatible fluid systems where extra-heavy rated fittings are required. The reducing outlet accommodates branch lines stepping down from 1-1/4 inch main runs to a 1 inch branch connection. It is commonly installed in boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial service environments where durability and pressure capacity are priorities.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install extra-heavy black malleable iron tee for threaded pipe systems using 1-1/4 inch and 1 inch NPT connections in gas, steam, air, or compatible fluid service.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded malleable iron fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and ASME B16.3 standards. Shut off and bleed the supply line completely before disassembling any existing fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque fittings, as malleable iron is susceptible to cracking under excessive mechanical stress.
