Bmi Usa 35620 Malleable Iron Pipe Cross 4 Inch Black

Product Description

The BMI USA 35620 is a 4-inch malleable iron pipe cross finished in black, designed for use in plumbing and piping distribution systems that require a four-way branch connection. This fitting allows a main pipe run to split in two perpendicular directions simultaneously, making it a practical choice for complex piping layouts. At 12.61 pounds, the malleable iron construction provides the toughness and ductility needed to withstand mechanical stress and vibration in service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this type of cross fitting where four-way flow distribution is required in threaded iron pipe systems.

This pipe cross is suited for use in residential and commercial piping installations where threaded malleable iron fittings are the specified standard. Common applications include gas distribution piping, steam systems, and general plumbing supply lines that require a durable four-way connection point. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications, making this fitting a natural fit for natural gas and propane supply systems where black iron pipe is the norm.

Key Features

• Four-way cross configuration for branching a main pipe run in two perpendicular directions
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress
• Black finish suitable for gas piping and steam system applications
• 4-inch nominal size for high-volume or large-diameter piping layouts
• Weighs 12.61 pounds, indicating heavy-duty wall thickness appropriate for demanding service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 4-inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and steam piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas systems, or IPC standards for plumbing systems. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting or threading into an existing line. Use appropriate thread sealant or pipe dope rated for the intended service medium — gas, steam, or water — when making up threaded connections. Do not overtighten fittings, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
