Bmi Usa 35273 3/8 Inch Black Street 45 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 35273 is a 3/8 inch malleable iron street 45 degree elbow finished in black. A street elbow has one male end and one female end, allowing it to thread directly into a fitting without a nipple. This configuration reduces the number of fittings needed in tight spaces and keeps runs compact. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of elbow in gas, steam, and water piping systems where a 45 degree directional change is required. At 0.13 pounds, it is a lightweight yet durable fitting suited for standard threaded pipe assemblies.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where a 45 degree offset is needed on a 3/8 inch threaded line. Typical installation scenarios include gas distribution branch lines, compressed air runs, steam systems, and general water service piping. The street configuration is especially useful in close-clearance areas where a standard elbow and separate nipple would not fit. The black finish is standard for gas service applications.

Key Features

• Street pattern with one male NPT end and one female NPT end for direct fitting-to-fitting connection
• 45 degree bend angle for angled directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to impact in threaded pipe systems
• Black finish suitable for gas service piping applications
• 3/8 inch pipe size for use on standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded lines
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for 3/8 inch NPT threaded pipe systems, including gas, steam, and water service applications where a malleable iron street 45 degree elbow is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where relevant. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
