Anvil 0390016848 Grooved Tee 3 Inch Malleable Iron Class 150

Product Description

The ANVIL 0390016848 is a 3-inch grooved tee fitting designed for use in mechanical piping systems where branch connections are required. Manufactured from malleable iron with a Class 150 pressure rating, this fitting accepts grooved end connections on all three outlets for fast, tool-ready assembly without threading or welding. The orange finish identifies it as a standard grooved product within ANVIL product lines. Licensed pipefitters and mechanical contractors install this fitting in fire protection, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping applications.

This tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems requiring a reliable, reusable grooved branch connection. The 3-inch size accommodates standard nominal pipe sizes in hydronic heating and cooling distribution systems, chilled water loops, fire suppression mains, and similar mechanical systems. At 5.8 pounds, the fitting is handled by a single installer and integrates into grooved coupling systems without special rigging.

Key Features

• 3-inch grooved end connections on all outlets for tool-ready assembly
• Malleable iron construction provides durability in pressurized piping systems
• Class 150 pressure classification for compatibility with standard mechanical system ratings
• Orange finish for quick identification as a grooved system component
• Equal tee configuration supports straight-run branch takeoffs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved tee fitting for use with 3-inch grooved pipe couplings and housings in Class 150 mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed pipefitter or mechanical contractor following applicable codes including IFGC and local mechanical codes. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Inspect the pipe groove for proper depth and width before seating the fitting to ensure a leak-free joint under the grooved coupling housing. Follow the coupling manufacturer torque and gasket seating procedures for the specific housing used with this fitting.
