Machined from 304L stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and high-temperature service environments. The run measures 3 inches with a 1-1\/4 inch branch outlet, making it suited for flow-diversion and branch-takeoff applications. At 1.64 pounds, it is compact and sized for straightforward fitup during pipe fabrication. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial pipe fabricators are the primary installers of this fitting class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fitting is used in commercial and industrial piping systems where a branch connection is needed to reduce from a 3 inch run to a 1-1\/4 inch branch. Schedule 10 wall thickness makes it appropriate for lower-pressure service lines, process piping, HVAC hydronic systems, and similar applications where full Schedule 40 wall stock is unnecessary. The 304L grade low-carbon stainless construction limits sensitization during welding, making it well suited for fabricated assemblies that will see heat input during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304L low-carbon stainless steel construction resists corrosion and limits carbide precipitation during welding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld end connections on all three outlets for full-penetration weld joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness suited for lower-pressure and standard commercial service lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing tee configuration transitions from a 3 inch run to a 1-1\/4 inch branch in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.64 pound weight reflects compact, material-efficient Schedule 10 construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style butt weld reducing tee for Schedule 10 stainless steel piping systems requiring a 3 x 1-1\/4 inch reducing branch connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber performing butt weld fabrication in accordance with applicable codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for process and pressure piping. Shut down and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting in or removing any existing fittings. Use appropriate purge gas backing during TIG or MIG welding of stainless fittings to prevent oxidation on the weld root. Post-weld cleaning or passivation may be required depending on the service environment and project specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Tee\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRun Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBranch Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Butt Weld x Butt Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.64 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01406-4820\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543122379058,"sku":"01406-4820","price":1047.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faad7f74a16c480c8e2fd5d8a9f7baef_58aa29bf-501b-41a0-bf94-cf5ca1114b75.jpg?v=1785916008","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01406-4820-reducing-tee-304l-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
