Bmi Usa 35049 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Coupling

Product Description

The BMI USA 35049 is a black malleable iron pipe coupling designed for joining sections of threaded pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution systems. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this coupling provides a durable, corrosion-resistant connection suitable for both low-pressure and standard-pressure applications. The 2.5-inch by 1-inch configuration accommodates a reducing connection between two different pipe sizes. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type in commercial and residential installations.

This coupling is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a reducing threaded connection is required. Typical applications include gas supply lines, steam systems, water distribution, and compressed air lines where malleable iron fittings are specified. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is commonly used in gas and steam service.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to vibration and impact
• Black finish appropriate for gas, steam, and water piping service
• Reducing coupling connects a 2.5-inch pipe to a 1-inch pipe in a single fitting
• Threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe threads for secure, leak-resistant joints
• Compact design simplifies installation in tight or congested pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT-threaded malleable iron pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IPC, and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure completely before removing or installing any pipe fitting. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded joints, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
