Bmi Usa 35583 Malleable Iron Black Pipe Tee 3x3x1-1/4 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 35583 is a malleable iron black pipe tee designed for joining three sections of pipe at a 90-degree branch in pressurized piping systems. The tee features a 3 x 3 x 1-1/4 inch configuration, with a reduced branch outlet that allows a smaller line to tap off a main run. The black finish is achieved through a standard iron oxide coating typical of malleable iron fittings used in gas distribution and industrial piping. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in threaded piping systems that require durable, code-compliant iron construction.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications including natural gas distribution, steam, and low-pressure air systems. The malleable iron body handles the mechanical stress of threaded assembly and system pressure cycling better than cast iron, making it a standard choice in mechanical rooms, utility spaces, and exposed piping runs where longevity and reliability are required.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides impact resistance and strength in threaded piping systems
• Black oxide finish suitable for gas, steam, and air service applications
• 3 x 3 x 1-1/4 inch reducing branch configuration for tapping off a main line
• Standard NPT threaded connections for compatibility with common pipe and fitting assemblies
• Weighs 4.27 pounds, indicating a heavy-duty, full-bodied casting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitting for use in threaded malleable iron piping systems. Verify thread type and pressure rating against system requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements for the intended service. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or pipe tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
