Cambridge Resources 517478 Galvanized Reducing Tee

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 517478 is a galvanized reducing tee fitting designed for use in threaded pipe systems requiring a branch outlet at a reduced diameter. The fitting connects run pipes at 1 inch on both ends and a 1/2 inch branch outlet, allowing a single pipeline to split off a smaller-diameter branch line. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for water supply, light industrial, and general mechanical piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting as part of standard threaded iron pipe assemblies.

This reducing tee is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a main 1-inch line requires a 1/2-inch branch takeoff. Common install scenarios include domestic water distribution runs, hydronic heating branch lines, and general-purpose pipe distribution systems. Sold as a single fitting.

Key Features

• Reducing tee configuration with 1 inch x 1/2 inch x 1 inch end connections
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Threaded connections compatible with standard NPT threaded pipe assemblies
• Single-unit sale for straightforward replacement or new installation use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for standard threaded iron pipe systems using 1-inch run pipe with a 1/2-inch branch outlet.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing or installing any threaded pipe fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack or deform the fitting.
