Bmi Usa 35054 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Coupling

Product Description

The BMI USA 35054 is a black malleable iron pipe coupling designed to join sections of pipe in a range of plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. The coupling features a 3 x 1-1/4 inch configuration and a durable black finish applied over malleable iron construction. Malleable iron provides the toughness needed to handle the mechanical stress and pressure cycling common in commercial and industrial piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies where a reliable, code-compliant mechanical joint is required.

This coupling is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping applications including gas lines, steam systems, water distribution, and general mechanical piping. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations per common code requirements. It is typically installed where a reducing connection is needed between a 3-inch main and a 1-1/4-inch branch or run.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and impact resistance in pressurized piping systems
• Black finish suitable for gas distribution and mechanical piping applications
• 3 x 1-1/4 inch reducing configuration for connecting two different pipe sizes
• Threaded fitting design for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Weighs 2.56 pounds indicating heavy-duty cast construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit coupling for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 3-inch and 1-1/4-inch nominal pipe sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before disassembling any fittings or making new connections. Apply a code-approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded joints before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if subjected to excessive torque.
