Bmi Usa 35490 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35490 is a malleable iron black pipe tee sized at 1-1/2 x 1/2 x 1-1/2 inches, designed to split or combine flow in threaded pipe systems. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and impact resistance required for gas, air, and fluid distribution lines in demanding trade applications. The black finish is a standard mill coating suitable for gas piping and industrial installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians use fittings like this when building or repairing threaded black iron piping networks.

This tee fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications including natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, and hydronic heating systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The 1-1/2 inch run with a 1/2 inch branch outlet makes it well suited for reducing branch connections in main gas or air supply runs.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction offers durability and resistance to impact and vibration
• Black mill finish suitable for gas and industrial piping installations
• 1-1/2 x 1/2 x 1-1/2 inch configuration provides a reducing branch outlet
• Threaded ends accept standard NPT connections for quick, secure assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded black iron pipe systems in gas, air, and fluid piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas lines, or IPC requirements for fluid systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
