Bmi Usa 35433 Black Pipe Tee 3/4 X 1/2 X 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The BMI USA 35433 is a black pipe tee fitting used to create a branch connection in a threaded pipe system. It features a 3/4-inch run with 1/2-inch branch and outlet ports, making it suited for reducing tee configurations in gas, water, or other compatible fluid distribution lines. The black finish indicates a malleable iron or standard black steel construction typical of this fitting class. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of tee when a main line must branch at a reduced diameter. At 0.39 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight fitting appropriate for tight installations.

This tee is designed for threaded pipe assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas distribution systems. The 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/2-inch reducing configuration is a common size used where a 3/4-inch supply line feeds two 1/2-inch branch or outlet legs. Typical applications include gas supply headers, water distribution manifolds, and similar threaded piping layouts where flow must be split or redirected at a reduced size.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 3/4-inch run, 1/2-inch branch and outlet
• Black finish consistent with standard black iron pipe fittings
• Threaded connections compatible with standard NPT pipe systems
• Lightweight at 0.39 pounds for easy handling in confined spaces
• Suitable for gas, water, and compatible fluid distribution lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded pipe tee for use with standard NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off supply pressure to the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort sealing surfaces.
