This fitting connects three pipe runs at a branch point, accommodating a 1-inch run with a 3\/4-inch through-port and a 1\/2-inch branch outlet. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility and strength needed to handle mechanical stress, vibration, and thermal cycling in working piping systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, water supply, and industrial piping where reliable threaded connections are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems. The reducing configuration handles transitions between pipe sizes in the same assembly, eliminating the need for separate reducers at the branch. Typical applications include gas supply lines, water distribution headers, and black iron piping systems where NPT-threaded fittings are specified. The black finish is standard for gas piping installations per common trade practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction for ductility and resistance to mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish standard for gas and industrial piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing tee configuration: 1 inch x 3\/4 inch x 1\/2 inch eliminates need for separate reducers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPT-threaded connections for compatibility with standard threaded pipe systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-way branch fitting for splitting or combining flow in a piping run\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 NPT-threaded black iron pipe systems used in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping applications.\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 codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas or water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections; use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench to avoid stressing adjacent fittings or pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch x 3\/4 inch x 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPT Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Fittings\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: BMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35445\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51306735468850,"sku":"35445","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/309548983.jpg?v=1781296868","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-35445-malleable-iron-black-tee-1x3-4x1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
