Bmi Usa 35046 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Coupling 2.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 35046 is a 2.5-inch black malleable iron pipe coupling designed for joining sections of threaded pipe in gas, plumbing, and mechanical piping systems. Malleable iron construction provides strength and ductility, making this coupling well-suited for applications where vibration or thermal expansion is a concern. The black finish is standard for gas piping service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting in both residential and light commercial contexts as part of threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This coupling is sized at 2.5 inches and is intended for use in threaded black iron pipe systems. Typical applications include gas distribution piping, steam systems, and general mechanical piping where a durable, code-acceptable iron fitting is required. Its weight of 2.12 pounds reflects the solid malleable iron construction standard for this fitting class.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to cracking under stress
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications
• 2.5-inch pipe coupling for joining threaded pipe sections
• Heavier-duty alternative to cast iron for vibration-prone installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 2.5-inch threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off gas supply or isolate the water system completely before beginning any work on threaded pipe assemblies. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type before making up threaded connections. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench appropriate for the fitting size.
