Bmi Usa 20471 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 1-1/2 X 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 20471 is an extra heavy black malleable iron pipe tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding commercial and industrial piping systems. Built from extra heavy malleable iron with a black finish, this tee provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection point where a 1-1/2 inch run transitions to a 1-1/4 inch branch. The extra heavy wall construction handles higher pressure and mechanical stress than standard weight fittings, making it a dependable choice for gas distribution, steam, compressed air, and general industrial piping installations.

This tee is suited for commercial and industrial mechanical systems where threaded black iron piping is specified. Typical applications include gas supply lines, steam distribution, fire suppression headers, and compressed air networks. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting wherever code or engineering specifications call for extra heavy malleable iron construction at a reducing tee junction.

Key Features

• Extra heavy malleable iron construction for elevated pressure and mechanical load capacity
• Black finish standard for gas and steam piping applications
• 1-1/2 inch run by 1-1/4 inch branch reducing tee configuration
• Threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe connections
• Solid malleable iron body resists cracking and impact better than cast iron

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for threaded black iron piping systems using extra heavy malleable iron fittings at 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/4 inch reducing tee positions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC and ASME B16.3 standards where required. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before removing any existing fitting or threading the new tee into position. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service media before making up connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
