The reducing tee configuration measures 1 x 3\/4 x 1 inch, allowing a branch connection at a reduced diameter off a main run line. The black iron finish makes it appropriate for gas distribution piping, as well as steam, air, and water systems where a non-galvanized fitting is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when a branch takeoff at a different pipe size is needed without adding a separate reducer. At 0.74 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting built to withstand typical working pressures of threaded malleable iron systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations including natural gas supply lines, propane distribution, compressed air lines, and steam systems. The reducing outlet allows a main line to continue at full size while tapping off to a smaller branch, a common configuration in gas appliance hook-ups and mechanical room piping layouts. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical tradespeople specifying this type of fitting on permitted installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to cracking under vibration and thermal cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for gas, steam, air, and water piping where galvanized fittings are not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing tee configuration: 1 x 3\/4 x 1 inch for branch takeoff at a reduced diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded connection type standard for malleable iron tee fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.74 pounds for ease of installation in tight spaces\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 malleable iron piping systems using 1-inch and 3\/4-inch nominal pipe sizes.\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 Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if subjected to excessive force.\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\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 x 3\/4 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701354427\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: 35442\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346863096114,"sku":"35442","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553513.jpg?v=1782092771","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35442-malleable-iron-black-pipe-tee-1x3-4x1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
