Bmi Usa 35574 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee

Product Description

The BMI USA 35574 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining threaded pipe runs in gas, air, and general-purpose piping systems. The tee features a 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.75 inch configuration, with two full-size run ports and one reduced branch outlet. At 2.67 pounds, this fitting is built for durability in industrial and commercial applications. The black finish is applied for corrosion resistance and is standard for gas distribution piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of threaded black iron piping assemblies.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial gas piping, compressed air distribution, and other threaded pipe systems where malleable iron fittings are specified. The reduced branch size makes it appropriate for branching a smaller lateral off a full-size main run. It is commonly used in natural gas and propane supply lines, as well as hydronic and steam distribution systems where black malleable iron is the material of choice.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for threaded black malleable iron piping systems. Compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe in 2.5 inch run and 0.75 inch branch sizes.

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. Shut off and depressurize the gas or fluid supply before disassembling or assembling any threaded pipe joint. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe dope rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack cast fittings or damage threads.
