Bmi Usa 36406 Malleable Iron Tee 1 Inch 150 Lb Galvanized

Product Description

The BMI USA 36406 is a 1-inch nominal malleable iron tee fitting rated for 150 lb service pressure. Hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance, this tee provides a three-way branch connection in threaded pipe systems. It is used in gas, water, air, and steam distribution lines where a durable, corrosion-resistant fitting is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications. The malleable iron construction gives it greater ductility than cast iron, making it suitable for systems subject to vibration or mechanical stress.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial piping systems using 1-inch threaded pipe. Common applications include natural gas distribution, compressed air lines, hydronic heating systems, and general plumbing supply lines. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or mildly corrosive environments where bare iron fittings would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• 1-inch nominal size fits standard threaded pipe of the same nominal diameter
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for a wide range of mechanical and plumbing services
• Malleable iron construction provides ductility and resistance to mechanical stress
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor installations
• Standard tee configuration for three-way branch connections in threaded pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 150 lb malleable iron threaded tee fitting compatible with 1-inch NPT threaded pipe and fittings used in gas, water, air, and steam piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC, IFGC, or local mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack the fitting body.
