Bmi Usa 35588 Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 4x4x3 Black

Product Description

The BMI USA 35588 is a malleable iron pipe tee designed for joining three sections of pipe in a branch configuration. With a run size of 4 inches and a branch outlet of 3 inches, this fitting accommodates moderate flow transitions in threaded piping systems. Malleable iron construction gives the fitting the toughness needed to handle mechanical stress and thermal cycling in demanding trade environments. At 9.53 pounds, it is built for permanent installation rather than light-duty or temporary use. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for fittings of this type.

This tee is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping installations where a 4-inch main run requires a 3-inch branch takeoff. Common applications include steam, water, and air distribution systems that use threaded black iron pipe. The black finish is standard for gas and steam service, making this fitting appropriate for those system types where coating compatibility matters. It is typically used in mechanical rooms, boiler rooms, and similar service environments.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• 4-inch run by 3-inch branch outlet configuration for reducing tee applications
• Black finish standard for gas and steam piping service
• Threaded connection type consistent with standard black iron pipe systems
• Heavy-duty weight of 9.53 pounds reflects robust, full-body casting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for threaded black malleable iron pipe systems with a 4-inch main run and 3-inch branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and plumbing codes. Isolate and depressurize the pipe system fully before removing any existing fittings or threading new connections. Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant rated for the intended service medium, whether gas, steam, or water. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
