Bmi Usa 20495 Black Malleable Iron Tee 2x2x1-1/4 Xh

Product Description

The BMI USA 20495 is an extra-heavy black malleable iron pipe tee rated for demanding piping applications where standard fittings are not sufficient. This tee fitting connects three sections of pipe in a branch configuration and is manufactured from extra-heavy malleable iron with a black finish for corrosion resistance and durability. It is sized at 2 inches by 2 inches by 1-1/4 inches, making it a reducing tee with a smaller branch outlet. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas piping, steam lines, and industrial fluid distribution systems where extra-heavy wall thickness is specified.

This fitting is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations that require extra-heavy fittings per applicable codes and project specifications. The reducing configuration allows a branch takeoff at a smaller diameter than the run pipe, a common requirement in steam and gas distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify and install extra-heavy malleable iron fittings in higher-pressure or higher-demand service conditions.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy malleable iron construction for high-demand piping service
• Black finish for standard gas and steam piping applications
• Reducing tee configuration: 2 x 2 x 1-1/4 inch
• Threaded connections for standard pipe assembly
• Weighs 4.07 pounds, indicating substantial wall thickness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style extra-heavy malleable iron tee for use in threaded pipe systems requiring 2 x 2 x 1-1/4 inch reducing tee fittings in gas, steam, or industrial fluid service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code, International Plumbing Code, or applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply listed pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all threaded connections. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if subjected to excessive force.
