Bmi Usa 35532 Black Malleable Iron Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35532 is a black malleable iron pipe tee designed for joining and branching threaded pipe runs in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. With a reducing configuration of 2 inches by 1-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches, this fitting connects a main run to a branch outlet of a smaller diameter, making it practical for distribution manifolds, drop lines, and service branch connections. Malleable iron construction provides the strength and thread integrity required in pressure-rated applications. At 1.77 pounds, the fitting is solid and ready for field installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a reducing branch connection is needed off a 2-inch main line. Common install scenarios include natural gas or propane distribution headers, water supply lines, compressed air systems, and steam or hydronic heating branch takeoffs. The black finish is standard for gas service applications where galvanized fittings are not specified. All three ports are female NPT threaded to accept standard tapered pipe threads.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration: 2 inches run by 1-1/2 inches run by 1-1/4 inches branch
• Malleable iron construction for strength and ductility under pressure and vibration
• Black finish suitable for gas service and mechanical piping applications
• Female NPT threaded on all three ports for compatibility with standard tapered pipe threads
• Solid 1.77-pound build for reliable, long-service field installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style black malleable iron reducing tee for use with standard NPT-threaded pipe in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as required by the application. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on the adjacent fitting to avoid stress on existing joints.
