Bmi Usa 35571 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35571 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications. This fitting connects three sections of pipe at a 90-degree branch, with a run size of 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches and a branch outlet of 1.5 inches. The black iron finish makes it suitable for gas piping and other non-potable fluid systems. At 3.3 pounds, it is a solid, full-weight fitting built to handle the demands of standard threaded iron pipe installations performed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This tee is used in threaded black iron piping systems common in residential and light commercial gas supply lines, steam systems, and industrial fluid distribution. The reducing branch configuration allows a technician to transition from a 2.5-inch main run down to a 1.5-inch branch line without additional reducing fittings. It is a standard-duty fitting appropriate for both new construction rough-in work and retrofit or repair scenarios on existing threaded pipe systems.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard NPT-threaded black iron pipe systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications requiring a 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 inch tee configuration.

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) depending on the application. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not over-torque threaded joints, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
