Bmi Usa 35272 Black Malleable Iron 1/4 Street 45 Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 35272 is a 1/4-inch black malleable iron street 45-degree elbow fitting used in threaded pipe systems. As a street elbow, one end is male-threaded and the other is female-threaded, allowing direct connection without a separate nipple. The black finish indicates a non-galvanized iron construction suited for gas piping, compressed air, and general industrial fluid conveyance. Weighing 0.13 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians in both residential and commercial settings.

This fitting is commonly used in low-pressure gas distribution lines, steam systems, compressed air networks, and general-purpose pipe runs where a 45-degree directional change is required. The street configuration simplifies tight installations by eliminating the need for an extra fitting or nipple in confined spaces. It is appropriate for residential gas drops, mechanical room piping, and light industrial applications where malleable iron fittings meet code requirements.

Key Features

• Street elbow design with male and female threaded ends for direct, nipple-free connections
• 45-degree angle for moderate directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact and vibration
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and non-corrosive fluid applications
• 1/4-inch pipe size fits standard NPT threaded pipe and fittings
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds for easy handling in confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4-inch NPT threaded pipe systems using standard malleable iron fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, or IPC requirements. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench to avoid stress on adjacent fittings.
