It features a reducing outlet, with 3\/8-inch run ports and a 1\/4-inch branch port, making it well suited for low-pressure gas, air, or fluid distribution lines where a directional split or feed tap is needed. The black finish is applied over malleable iron construction, which offers the ductility and thread-holding strength that trade professionals rely on in tight quarters or vibration-prone installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee is commonly used in residential and light commercial piping applications, including natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and steam or water systems that call for NPT-threaded fittings. The reducing branch configuration allows a main run to remain at 3\/8-inch pipe size while tapping off to a smaller 1\/4-inch line, which is a frequent layout requirement when feeding secondary appliances or instrumentation ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides ductility and reliable thread engagement under mechanical stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suited for gas and non-potable fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch x 3\/8-inch x 1\/4-inch reducing configuration for branching to smaller pipe sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNPT-threaded ports for standard compatibility with threaded pipe and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.19 pounds, minimizing load on branch lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard NPT-threaded malleable iron pipe fitting for use in threaded piping assemblies requiring a 3\/8-inch x 3\/8-inch x 1\/4-inch tee configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or threading any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.\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\u003eRun Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701354175\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 USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35417\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346855297330,"sku":"35417","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310552612.jpg?v=1782092489","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35417-malleable-iron-black-pipe-tee-3-8x3-8x1-4","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
