Bmi Usa 35486 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35486 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining three sections of pipe in a branching configuration. Sized at 1-1/2 inches by 3/4 inches by 1-1/4 inches, this tee accommodates runs with a reducing branch and is finished in black for standard black iron pipe systems. The malleable iron construction provides the flexibility and strength required to handle mechanical stress in pressurized piping applications. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters commonly install this fitting in residential and light commercial systems.

This tee is suited for use in black iron pipe assemblies commonly found in natural gas distribution, propane supply lines, and similar piping systems. The reducing configuration allows a main run of 1-1/2 inches to be branched with a 3/4-inch outlet while the run outlet measures 1-1/4 inches, making it practical for systems that require a stepped-down branch connection without additional reducing couplings.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black finish compatible with standard black iron pipe systems
• Three-way reducing configuration: 1-1/2 x 3/4 x 1-1/4 inches
• Threaded ends for standard NPT pipe connections
• Compact and durable for use in pressurized piping applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for black iron pipe systems using NPT-threaded connections in the specified reducing sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required. Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing any existing fittings or threading new connections. Apply appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for the intended service to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
