Bmi Usa 20454 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 1-1/4 X 3/4 in Xh

Product Description

The BMI USA 20454 is an extra heavy (XH) malleable iron pipe tee finished in black, rated for 300 Class service. It features a reducing configuration with a 1-1/4 inch run and a 3/4 inch branch outlet, making it a reliable fitting choice for high-pressure or demanding piping systems. Weighing 1.85 pounds, this tee is built from extra heavy malleable iron for durability under mechanical stress and elevated pressure conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas, steam, and industrial piping applications where standard-weight fittings are not sufficient.

This fitting is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where 300 Class fittings are specified. The reducing tee configuration is commonly used when a branch line of a smaller diameter must be tapped off a larger main line. Its black finish is standard for gas distribution piping and non-galvanized systems in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and similar service environments.

Key Features

• Extra heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for high-pressure service
• 300 Class pressure rating for demanding piping systems
• Reducing tee: 1-1/4 inch run with 3/4 inch branch outlet
• Black finish suitable for gas and steam piping applications
• Threaded connections for standard NPT pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for extra heavy malleable iron threaded piping systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch by 3/4 inch reducing tee at 300 Class rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC). Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
