Value Collection 13042G Malleable Iron Pipe Tee 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13042G is a 3/8 inch malleable iron pipe tee designed for threaded pipe systems carrying liquid, gas, or steam. Constructed from Class 150 malleable iron with a galvanized finish coating, this tee provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding service environments. It is rated for 300 psi on liquid and gas lines and 150 psi on steam lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting in residential and light commercial piping systems where a reliable, code-compatible branch connection is required.

This tee is suited for use in natural gas distribution piping, compressed air lines, water supply systems, and steam distribution networks operating within the rated pressure limits. The 3/8 inch size is common in branch lines and service connections. Its galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed installations where moisture contact is a consideration. The standard NPT thread form allows straightforward integration with existing threaded iron pipe systems.

Key Features

• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for high-demand service lines
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam distribution
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for strength and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish coating for corrosion protection in moisture-prone environments
• 3/8 inch fitting size for branch and service line applications
• Standard tee configuration for straightforward inline branch connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3/8 inch NPT threaded iron pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and steam service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off all supply pressure and verify the line is fully depressurized before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to a firm, leak-free connection using pipe wrenches. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the fitting body or damage threads.
