Anvil 0300032802 Black Cast Iron Tee 2-1/2 in Threaded

Product Description

The ANVIL 0300032802 is a black cast iron threaded tee fitting designed for use in piping systems requiring a reliable, pressure-rated branch connection. Sized at 2-1/2 inches with female pipe thread (FPT) end connections on all three outlets, this fitting meets Class 125 pressure ratings at 125 psi. The black finish is applied per ASTM A153. Manufactured to ASME B1.20.1 thread standards and ASME B16.4 cast iron fitting specifications, this tee is suited for plumbing, fire protection, and mechanical piping applications. It carries cULus listing and FM Approval, making it appropriate for listed system installations.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial piping systems where a threaded branch takeoff is required. Typical applications include water distribution, low-pressure steam, gas distribution, and fire sprinkler piping where cast iron Class 125 fittings are specified. The operating temperature range runs from -20 degrees F to 150 degrees F, covering most standard mechanical room and above-grade piping environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting in commercial and industrial work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to proper engagement using a pipe wrench. Do not over-torque cast iron fittings, as the material is not ductile and can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
