The fitting measures 1\/2 inch on the run ports and 1\/4 inch on the branch outlet, allowing a smaller branch line to tap off a main run without additional reducers in most configurations. The black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for dry indoor service. At 0.24 pounds, the fitting is a compact, heavy-duty cast connection point used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors on both residential and light commercial jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing tee is used where a 1\/2-inch threaded pipe run requires a reduced 1\/4-inch branch takeoff. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, compressed air branch lines, and general-purpose black iron piping systems in residential and commercial mechanical rooms. The NPT-threaded connections mate with standard black iron or galvanized pipe and fittings of the same thread sizes. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded pipe assemblies following applicable code requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide coating suited for gas and indoor dry-service plumbing applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch run x 1\/4-inch branch reducing configuration eliminates the need for a separate bushing in many layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard NPT threads for compatibility with black iron and galvanized pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.24 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded black iron pipe systems using 1\/2-inch and 1\/4-inch NPT connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before disassembling or threading any fitting into the system. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before makeup. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjacent fittings to avoid stressing the run pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches x 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.24 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e: Import\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASC Engineered Solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 810037218\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233937260850,"sku":"0810037218","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307631385.jpg?v=1780112617","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/asc-810037218-black-malleable-iron-reducing-tee-1-2x1-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
