Bmi Usa 35451 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35451 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining three sections of pipe at a branch point in low-pressure piping systems. The fitting connects a 1-1/4 inch run inlet, a 1-1/4 inch run outlet, and a 1-1/2 inch branch outlet, making it suitable for transitions between pipe sizes within a single assembly. Weighing 1.36 pounds, the fitting carries a standard black finish typical of malleable iron gas and general-service piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in above-grade interior piping where a reducing branch connection is required.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial piping applications including gas distribution, air, and general-service fluid lines where malleable iron fittings are specified. The reducing branch configuration handles situations where the main line diameter differs from the branch line diameter. The black finish indicates an uncoated malleable iron surface, standard for natural gas and propane supply lines as well as compressed air systems in trade installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service fluid before making up connections. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not overtighten, which can crack the fitting body.
