Bmi Usa 35457 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35457 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining and branching threaded pipe runs in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. The tee configuration allows a branch connection off a main pipe run, making it a standard fitting for residential and light commercial installations. At 1.1 pounds, this fitting is built from malleable iron for durability under pressure and temperature cycling. The black finish is standard for gas service applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies.

This tee is sized 1-1/4 inch by 1 inch by 1-1/4 inch, accommodating a reducing branch off a full-bore main run. It is suited for use in natural gas, propane, and general-purpose black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and equipment connections where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation 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 supply or water service and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded joints. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
