Midland Industries 64369 Reducing Tee Galvanized Iron 150 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 64369 is a galvanized malleable iron reducing tee rated for 150 lb service. It features three female pipe thread (FPT) connections: run ports at 1-1/2 inches and a reduced branch at 3/4 inch. Conforming to ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards, this fitting is suited for water, air, gas, and general piping applications across a temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this class of fitting in threaded iron piping systems.

This reducing tee is intended for residential and light commercial piping work where a branch takeoff at a smaller diameter is required from a main run. Typical applications include water supply distribution, compressed air lines, and gas distribution piping where a 1-1/2-inch main run requires a 3/4-inch branch connection. Thread specifications are 1-1/2-11-1/2 NPT on the run ports and 3/4-14 NPT on the branch port, conforming to standard NPT engagement requirements.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded galvanized iron piping systems rated at 150 lb pressure class in residential and commercial mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly; do not apply sealant to female threads. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.
