Bmi Usa 35428 Black Malleable Iron Tee 3/4x3/4x1/4

Product Description

The BMI USA 35428 is a black malleable iron tee fitting used to create branch connections in threaded pipe systems. With a run size of 3/4 inch and a branch outlet of 1/4 inch, this reducing tee allows a smaller branch line to tap off a main pipe run. Malleable iron construction provides the strength and ductility needed to handle the mechanical stress of threaded assembly and the demands of gas, air, and similar piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting as part of threaded black iron pipe systems in both residential and light commercial settings.

This fitting is suited for use in black iron pipe systems where a reducing branch connection is required. Typical applications include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose pipe assemblies that call for NPT threaded fittings. The 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/4 inch configuration is commonly used when a small branch, such as a gas appliance drop or instrumentation port, must be tapped off a 3/4 inch main line. Installation follows standard threaded pipe practices in residential and light commercial environments.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and thread integrity under torque
• Black finish suitable for gas and air piping applications
• Reducing tee configuration: 3/4 inch run x 3/4 inch run x 1/4 inch branch outlet
• NPT threaded connections for compatibility with standard black iron pipe systems
• Compact and lightweight at 0.36 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a standard reducing tee for use with 3/4 inch and 1/4 inch NPT threaded black iron pipe in residential and light commercial gas and air piping systems.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IFGC and IPC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before beginning work. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service fluid before assembling connections. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
