Bmi Usa 35319 Black 90 Degree Elbow 1/2 X 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 35319 is a malleable iron black 90 degree elbow used to change the direction of a threaded pipe run in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. The reducing configuration connects a 1/2 inch line to a 3/8 inch line, making it suited for close-quarter transitions where pipe sizes change at the turn. The black finish indicates no galvanizing treatment, which is standard for gas piping applications. Weighing 0.18 pounds, this compact fitting is handled and installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working on low-pressure piping systems.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial gas distribution, compressed air lines, and hydronic or general plumbing pipe runs where a reducing 90 degree turn is required. The threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe threads, making it compatible with a wide range of pipe and fitting configurations. It is a common fitting stocked in service trucks and mechanical rooms for routine repairs and new installations alike.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and durability in threaded pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using NPT connections in gas, plumbing, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the IFGC for gas applications. Shut off gas or water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before threading the fitting into place. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
