Bmi Usa 35338 Black 90 Degree Pipe Elbow 1-1/2 X 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 35338 is a malleable iron black 90-degree pipe elbow designed to redirect piping runs at a right angle. This reducing elbow transitions from a 1-1/2 inch inlet to a 1/2 inch outlet, making it a practical fitting for connecting pipes of different diameters in a single change-of-direction. The black finish indicates it is uncoated malleable iron, standard for gas and certain mechanical piping systems. It weighs 0.65 pounds and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas-line technicians working on threaded pipe assemblies.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 90-degree directional change and a reduction in pipe size are required in the same fitting. Typical uses include natural gas distribution lines, propane piping, and general mechanical piping where malleable iron threaded fittings are specified. The reducing configuration eliminates the need for a separate bushing or coupling in many installations, saving space and connection points in tight rough-in scenarios.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded piping systems
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and non-potable mechanical applications
• 90-degree elbow with reducing configuration: 1-1/2 inch inlet by 1/2 inch outlet
• Combines directional change and pipe reduction in a single fitting
• Threaded connections compatible with standard NPT pipe threads

Compatibility

Designed as a standard malleable iron threaded fitting for use in gas and mechanical piping systems requiring a 90-degree reducing elbow at 1-1/2 inch by 1/2 inch NPT thread sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before making any connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron can crack under excessive torque applied with power tools.
