Bmi Usa 35458 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee 1-1/4x1x1

Product Description

The BMI USA 35458 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining and branching threaded pipe runs in plumbing, gas, and mechanical systems. The reducing tee configuration accepts a 1-1/4 inch run with a 1 inch branch outlet, allowing trades to transition between pipe sizes at a single fitting. Weighing 0.98 pounds, this fitting carries a black finish that is standard for gas-line and low-pressure steam applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a threaded branch connection is required in an existing or new pipe assembly.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where malleable iron fittings are specified. Common applications include natural gas distribution lines, propane supply piping, low-pressure steam heating systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The reducing configuration makes it practical for branching a smaller line off a larger main run without the need for additional bushings or adapters.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded systems
• Black finish suitable for gas and low-pressure steam service
• Reducing tee configuration: 1-1/4 inch run by 1 inch branch
• Threaded connections compatible with standard NPT pipe threads
• Compact and lightweight at 0.98 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded malleable iron fitting for use in standard NPT-threaded pipe systems where a reducing tee connection is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the pipe section completely before disassembling or threading in this fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack the fitting body or damage the threads.
