Bmi Usa 35053 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Coupling

Product Description

The BMI USA 35053 is a black malleable iron pipe coupling designed to join pipe sections in residential and commercial piping systems. Finished in black and sized at 3 x 1.5 inches, this reducing coupling provides a durable threaded connection between two pipe runs of differing diameters. Malleable iron construction offers reliable strength under pressure and thermal cycling, making it a standard choice for gas, steam, and plumbing distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This coupling is suited for use in gas distribution, steam, and water piping applications where a reducing threaded connection is required. Its black finish identifies it as a standard non-galvanized malleable iron fitting, commonly specified for gas lines and other dry or low-moisture service environments. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations in residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• Reducing coupling joins 3-inch pipe to 1.5-inch pipe in a single threaded fitting
• Malleable iron construction provides durability under pressure and temperature variation
• Black finish suitable for gas and steam service applications
• Threaded connection style compatible with standard NPT pipe threading
• Weighs 2.71 pounds for solid, robust fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems requiring a 3 x 1.5 inch reducing coupling connection.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded malleable iron fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
