Bmi Usa 35466 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35466 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining and branching threaded pipe runs in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems. The tee configuration allows a single pipe run to split into two directions or accept a branch connection at a perpendicular angle. With a 1-1/4 inch run, a 1 inch outlet, and a 1/2 inch branch, this fitting accommodates multi-size pipe transitions in a single component. The black finish indicates an uncoated malleable iron surface suited for gas distribution and non-corrosive fluid piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of fittings in this class.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial piping applications where threaded malleable iron fittings are required. Common install scenarios include natural gas and propane distribution lines, steam and hydronic heating systems, and compressed air piping. The 1-1/4 inch by 1/2 inch by 1 inch sizing makes it a practical choice when transitioning between different pipe diameters at a branch point in a threaded iron pipe system.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact compared to cast iron
• Black finish appropriate for gas service and non-potable fluid piping
• Three-way tee configuration with 1-1/4 inch run, 1 inch outlet, and 1/2 inch branch
• Threaded connections for standard NPT pipe assembly
• Compact and lightweight at 0.82 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using standard NPT connections in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system fully before cutting in or replacing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service type to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
