Bmi Usa 35283 Black Malleable Iron 45 Degree Street Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 35283 is a black malleable iron 45-degree street elbow designed for threaded piping systems in commercial and residential applications. This fitting features a male thread on one end and a female thread on the other, allowing it to thread directly into another fitting without requiring a separate nipple. The black finish is standard for gas piping systems. At 6.97 pounds, this is a substantial, trade-grade fitting built for durability in demanding install environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of street elbow.

This 45-degree street elbow is used in gas distribution piping, steam systems, and general industrial piping where a direction change is needed and space is limited. The street configuration eliminates one connection point compared to a standard elbow and nipple combination, reducing potential leak points and saving labor time. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit applications where threaded black iron pipe is specified.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for moderate directional changes in threaded piping runs
• Street configuration with male and female threaded ends for direct fitting-to-fitting connection
• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to vibration and impact
• Black finish standard for gas and steam piping applications
• Trade-grade weight and build quality at 6.97 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems, consistent with IFGC and ASME B16.3 malleable iron threaded fitting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code where gas piping is involved. Shut off gas supply or depressurize the system completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or pipe-thread compound rated for the intended service before making up connections. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material is strong but not as ductile as steel and can crack under excessive force.
