Bmi Usa 35280 Black 45 Degree Street Elbow 2.5 Inches

Product Description

The BMI USA 35280 is a 2.5-inch malleable iron black street 45-degree elbow designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution systems. As a street-pattern fitting, one end accepts a male-threaded pipe or fitting directly, eliminating the need for an additional coupling. The black finish indicates an uncoated iron surface suited for gas piping and industrial applications. Weighing 2.63 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting intended for permanent or semi-permanent threaded connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This street elbow is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a 45-degree directional change is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam piping, and compressed air systems. The male-by-female threaded configuration allows direct inline connection to a pipe or fitting without additional hardware, making it useful in tight-run installations where reducing fitting count matters.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow configuration with one male and one female threaded end
• 2.5-inch nominal pipe size for high-flow applications
• Malleable iron construction for strength and thread integrity under pressure
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications
• Eliminates need for additional coupling in directional changes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2.5-inch NPT threaded pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or connecting any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
