Bmi Usa 35343 Malleable Iron Pipe Elbow 2x3/4 Black 90

Product Description

The BMI USA 35343 is a black malleable iron 90-degree reducing pipe elbow designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, heating, and mechanical piping applications. With a 2-inch by 3/4-inch reducing configuration, this fitting connects pipes of two different diameters at a right angle, redirecting flow while stepping down pipe size in a single fitting. The black finish indicates standard (non-galvanized) malleable iron construction, suitable for gas piping, steam, and hydronic systems. At 1.07 pounds, the fitting delivers the structural integrity and thread engagement strength that malleable iron is specified for in trade work.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial installations where threaded iron pipe is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, hydronic heating loops, and compressed air distribution. The reducing 90-degree geometry is useful where a directional change and size transition are needed at the same fitting location, eliminating the need for a separate bushing or coupling in many layouts.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides high strength and resistance to impact and vibration in threaded piping systems
• 90-degree elbow geometry redirects pipe runs at a right angle
• 2-inch by 3/4-inch reducing configuration handles diameter transitions in a single fitting
• Black finish suitable for gas, steam, and hydronic piping where galvanized fittings are not required or permitted
• Threaded connection type for standard NPT pipe engagement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping applications. Shut off gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before removing any existing fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the specific service medium — confirm sealant compatibility before use on gas lines. Tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the pipe diameter per standard threading practice; do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings.
