Bmi Usa 20472 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 1-1/2x1-1/2x1 Xh 300

Product Description

The BMI USA 20472 is an extra-heavy (XH) black malleable iron pipe tee rated for 300-class service, designed for use in high-pressure or high-demand piping systems where standard fittings are not sufficient. This three-way fitting connects branch lines to main runs and is commonly installed in steam, gas, compressed air, and industrial fluid distribution systems. At 2.49 pounds, the extra-heavy wall construction provides greater durability and pressure resistance compared to standard malleable iron tees. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors.

This tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications requiring a robust, code-compliant threaded fitting. The 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 inch configuration allows a reducing branch connection off a 1-1/2 inch main run, making it useful in steam distribution headers, compressed air manifolds, and black iron gas piping where a reduced branch outlet is needed. The black finish is standard for non-potable water and gas service applications.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy (XH) 300-class pressure rating for demanding service conditions
• Extra heavy malleable iron construction for strength and thread integrity
• Reducing configuration: 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1 inch for branch-line reduction off main run
• Black finish suitable for gas, steam, and compressed air piping
• Threaded connections for standard NPT pipe assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for extra-heavy black iron threaded piping systems using 1-1/2 inch and 1 inch NPT pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before disassembling or threading any fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as extra-heavy malleable iron fittings can crack if threads are cross-threaded or excessively torqued without reference to manufacturer guidance.
