The reducing tee connects a 1-1\/4 inch run on both the inlet and outlet with a 1\/2 inch branch takeoff, allowing a single fitting to serve both the main line and a branch line without additional reducing couplings. At 0.88 pounds, the fitting is sized for light commercial and residential applications where a durable, corrosion-resistant black iron fitting is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tee is suited for threaded black iron piping systems commonly found in residential and light commercial gas distribution, compressed air lines, and industrial fluid conveyance. The 1-1\/4 by 1-1\/4 by 1\/2 inch configuration is a standard reducing size used when a main line must feed a smaller branch, such as a gas drop to an appliance or an air line takeoff to a tool connection point. The black iron finish makes it appropriate for above-ground gas piping where galvanized fittings are not required by code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMalleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish suitable for above-ground gas and air piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch run by 1\/2 inch branch reducing configuration eliminates the need for extra reducing fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard threaded ends compatible with NPT pipe and fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.88 pounds for ease of handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use malleable iron tee for threaded black iron piping systems using NPT connections in residential and light commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas service technician in accordance with applicable codes such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off the gas or air supply and depressurize the line fully before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack if excessive force is applied.\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: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.88 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701354557\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: 35455\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346320130354,"sku":"35455","price":17.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553621.jpg?v=1782077404","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-35455-malleable-iron-black-pipe-tee","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
