It connects a 2.5-inch pipe on the larger end to a 1.25-inch pipe on the smaller end, making a 90-degree turn in the line. The black finish results from an oil coating applied after casting, which provides a standard level of corrosion resistance suited for dry or low-moisture interior environments. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas distribution, compressed air, and general black-iron pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing elbow is used in residential and light commercial applications where a directional change and pipe size reduction are needed in the same fitting. Typical installations include natural gas supply lines, propane distribution piping, and black-iron compressed air systems. The 90-degree configuration eliminates the need for a separate reducing coupling and a standard elbow, consolidating two fittings into one connection point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree turn with built-in reduction from 2.5 inches to 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact in threaded systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oil finish suitable for gas and compressed air service in interior applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded ends accept standard NPT fittings for secure, leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact reducing elbow design consolidates fittings and simplifies pipe layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard trade fitting for black-iron threaded pipe systems using NPT connections in residential and commercial gas and compressed air applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off gas or air supply and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90-Degree Reducing Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701353482\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35348\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343104868658,"sku":"35348","price":42.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553997.jpg?v=1782016718","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35348-black-malleable-iron-reducing-elbow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
