Bmi Usa 35530 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35530 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. This tee fitting connects three sections of pipe at a branch point, allowing flow to be directed or split within the system. The black iron finish is standard for gas piping installations and is compatible with threaded assembly using pipe dope or approved thread sealant tape. Weighing 2.26 pounds and sized at 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 inches, this fitting is built for durable, long-term service in demanding trade environments.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, steam, and air systems where malleable iron construction is specified. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and above-ceiling runs by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians. The branch outlet size of 1-1/2 inches accommodates a reduced branch connection while maintaining full 2-inch run diameter on both ends, making it useful for distribution manifolds and branch takeoffs.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black finish makes it appropriate for natural gas and propane piping systems
• 2 x 1-1/2 x 2 inch configuration supports reduced branch takeoff from full-size run
• Threaded ends allow standard NPT assembly without special tooling
• Weighs 2.26 pounds, indicating heavy-wall construction for industrial-grade fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use in standard NPT malleable iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply an approved thread sealant to all male threads and hand-tighten before using a pipe wrench to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting or distort the thread engagement.
