Bmi Usa 35454 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 1-1/4x1-1/4x3/4

Product Description

The BMI USA 35454 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining threaded pipe runs in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. This reducing tee features a 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch run with a 3/4 inch branch outlet, allowing a single fitting to transition between two pipe sizes within the same assembly. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type in both residential and light commercial work.

This tee is suited for use in natural gas, propane, water, and general-purpose threaded pipe systems where a reducing branch connection is required. The 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 3/4 inch configuration is commonly found in gas supply mains that branch off to smaller appliance drops, as well as in compressed air and water distribution manifolds. It is compatible with standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides durability and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded assemblies
• Black finish makes this fitting appropriate for gas piping applications per standard installation practices
• Reducing outlet configuration: 1-1/4 inch run x 3/4 inch branch allows in-line size transitions without additional reducers
• Standard NPT threads for compatibility with threaded black iron pipe fittings and valves
• Lightweight at 0.95 pounds for easier handling during overhead or tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and gas piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before disassembling any existing piping. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings; hand-tighten and then use a pipe wrench for the final turns to avoid cracking the fitting body.
