Bmi Usa 35494 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35494 is a malleable iron black pipe tee used to create branch connections in threaded pipe systems. The tee features a 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 inch configuration, with two 2-inch run ports and one 1-1/2 inch branch outlet. The black finish is a standard mill coating suited for gas piping, steam, and industrial service applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas line technicians install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies in both residential and commercial settings.

This pipe tee is used in threaded black iron piping systems for natural gas distribution, propane supply lines, steam heating, and general industrial piping. The reducing branch configuration makes it a common choice where a smaller branch line must be tapped off a 2-inch main run. It is appropriate for above-ground, interior, and exposed piping installations where malleable iron fittings are specified.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to impact in threaded piping systems
• Black mill finish suitable for gas, steam, and industrial service
• 2 x 2 x 1-1/2 inch reducing tee configuration for branching off a smaller outlet from a 2-inch main

• Weighs 2.14 pounds for a solid, durable fitting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard NPT-threaded malleable iron fitting compatible with Schedule 40 black iron pipe in 2-inch and 1-1/2 inch sizes, suitable for use in threaded gas and steam piping systems where malleable iron fittings are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas technician in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
