Bmi Usa 35582 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee 3x3x1.5 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 35582 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for use in threaded piping systems. This fitting connects three sections of pipe at a branch point, allowing flow to be split or combined within a run. The black iron finish indicates an uncoated, mill-finished product suited for gas and other non-potable fluid applications. Weighing 4.46 pounds, this is a robust, full-weight fitting built for the demands of trade installation in residential and light commercial settings.

This tee is configured in a 3 x 3 x 1.5 inch size, making it appropriate for main runs of 3-inch pipe with a reducing 1.5-inch branch outlet. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, steam heating systems, and compressed air lines where malleable iron fittings are specified. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC gas line technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation of black iron pipe tees should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and verify the absence of gas or fluid pressure in the line before disassembling any section of pipe. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up connections. Do not overtighten fittings beyond hand-snug plus the wrench turns specified by the applicable code, as malleable iron threads can be damaged by excessive force.
