Bmi Usa 35482 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35482 is a malleable iron black pipe tee used for joining three sections of pipe at a branching point in a piping system. With a run size of 1-1/2 inches and branch size of 1 inch, this threaded fitting handles direction splits in gas, air, or fluid distribution lines. The black finish indicates an uncoated surface suitable for gas piping and similar applications where a galvanized finish is not required. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on commercial or residential mechanical systems.

This tee is suited for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a reducing branch connection is needed. The 1-1/2 inch run and 1 inch branch configuration accommodates common pipe sizing transitions in gas distribution, compressed air, or water piping. It is a standard threaded fitting intended for use wherever NPT-threaded malleable iron fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress at threaded joints
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and non-galvanized applications
• 1-1/2 inch run by 1 inch branch reducing configuration for common pipe transitions
• Standard NPT-threaded design for compatibility with threaded pipe systems
• Compact and durable for long-term service in mechanical piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line or removing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
