Bmi Usa 35589 Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 4x4x2.5 in Black

Product Description

The BMI USA 35589 is a malleable iron pipe tee finished in black, designed for use in threaded pipe systems across plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications. This fitting connects three sections of pipe at a right-angle branch point, allowing flow to be split or combined within a run. At 8.7 pounds, the casting is substantial and suited for installations where durability and long service life are required. The black finish is standard for gas distribution and similar low-pressure systems where galvanized fittings are not specified.

This tee is configured in a 4x4x2.5 inch sizing, meaning the two run ends are 4 inches and the branch outlet is 2.5 inches. It is used in residential and commercial mechanical rooms, gas piping mains, steam and hydronic heating systems, and industrial pipe runs where malleable iron fittings meet code requirements. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under mechanical stress
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and non-corrosive indoor pipe systems
• 4x4x2.5 inch tee configuration allows full-size run with reduced branch outlet
• Threaded ends accept standard NPT pipe connections
• Substantial 8.7 pound casting indicates heavy-duty commercial or industrial grade fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation malleable iron threaded pipe tee for use in standard NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, steam, and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of malleable iron pipe fittings on gas systems must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the IFGC. Shut off gas supply or isolate the pipe section and depressurize before beginning work. Apply approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all NPT threads before making up connections. Do not use malleable iron fittings in systems with working pressures or media types that exceed the fitting manufacturer rating.
