Bmi Usa 35461 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35461 is a black malleable iron pipe tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and industrial piping systems. With a run size of 1-1/4 inches, a branch outlet of 3/4 inches, and a return run of 1-1/4 inches, this reducing tee allows a branch line to be tapped off a main run at a reduced diameter. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications. Malleable iron construction provides the toughness and thread integrity required in pressurized systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and black iron plumbing assemblies where a reducing branch connection is needed. The 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 1-1/4 inch configuration is a common reducing tee size used when transitioning from a main trunk line to a smaller branch serving an appliance or fixture. It is installed using standard NPT threaded fittings and pipe thread sealant approved for the service type.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for durability and reliable thread engagement under pressure
• Black finish suitable for gas piping service per applicable codes
• Reducing branch configuration: 1-1/4 x 3/4 x 1-1/4 inches for main-to-branch transitions
• NPT threaded connections for compatibility with standard threaded pipe systems
• Compact one-pound weight simplifies handling during overhead or tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for threaded black iron pipe systems using NPT connections in plumbing, gas, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas service, or IPC requirements for plumbing service. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack malleable iron fittings.
