Anvil International 8700122701 Galvanized Reducing Tee

Product Description

The Anvil International 8700122701 is a galvanized reducing tee fitting sized at 3/4 inches by 1/2 inches by 1/2 inches. It is used to branch or reduce flow within threaded pipe systems in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical applications. The fitting is manufactured with a galvanized finish to resist corrosion in wet and exposed environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The reducing configuration allows a main run of 3/4-inch pipe to branch into two 1/2-inch outlets in a single connection point.

This reducing tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where galvanized threaded fittings are specified. Common applications include water distribution, gas supply lines where galvanized fittings are permitted by local code, and HVAC hydronic systems. It is sold individually and is also available in package quantities of 35 units, making it practical for contractors stocking a service van or completing larger mechanical rough-ins.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply or gas supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight using a pipe wrench. Verify local code acceptance of galvanized fittings for the intended service, particularly for gas applications.
