Bmi Usa 35340 Malleable Iron 90 Degree Pipe Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 35340 is a 90-degree reducing pipe elbow manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish. It connects a 2-inch pipe run to a 1-1/2-inch pipe run, changing direction at a right angle. This type of fitting is a standard component in threaded piping systems used for gas distribution, compressed air, and general plumbing lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard pipe wrenches and NPT-compatible thread sealant. The black malleable iron construction provides the durability required for pressure-rated applications in both residential and light commercial settings.

This elbow is suited for threaded piping systems where a 90-degree directional change is needed alongside a reduction in pipe diameter from 2 inches to 1-1/2 inches. Typical install scenarios include branch connections in gas piping, compressed air distribution, and industrial or commercial plumbing manifolds. The black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is the standard specification for gas piping in many jurisdictions.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• Reducing configuration: 2-inch inlet to 1-1/2-inch outlet
• Malleable iron construction for strength and impact resistance under pressure
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications per common code requirements
• NPT-threaded connections for compatibility with standard pipe and fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-inch by 1-1/2-inch threaded pipe systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping applications. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
