Midland Industries 65350 Reducing Tee 1-1/4 Fpt Iron Black 150lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65350 is a black malleable iron reducing tee rated at 150 lb pressure class, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, air, and fluid distribution systems. It features three female pipe thread (FPT) connections in a reducing configuration: 1-1/4 inches on the run inlet, 1 inch on the run outlet, and 3/4 inch on the branch outlet. Thread standards are 1-1/4-11-1/2 NPT, 1-11-1/2 NPT, and 3/4-14 NPT respectively. The fitting conforms to ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards and is rated for service from -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas fitters install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This reducing tee is used wherever a threaded iron pipe system requires a branch takeoff with a size reduction at one or more ports. Common install scenarios include natural gas distribution lines, compressed air headers, and low-pressure steam or water systems. Its black finish distinguishes it from galvanized fittings and is standard for gas service piping per applicable codes. The 150 lb pressure rating suits the demands of most residential and light commercial piping systems handled by plumbing and mechanical contractors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or gas fitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or threading any fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not use this fitting on systems or with fluids for which malleable iron or the 150 lb pressure class is not rated.
