Value Collection 13542G Malleable Iron Tee 3/8 in Class 300

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13542G is a 3/8-inch malleable iron tee fitting with a black finish, rated for Class 300 service. It features threaded end connections and a liquid and gas pressure rating of 1500 psi, making it well suited for demanding piping installations. Malleable iron construction provides the toughness and ductility needed to handle mechanical stress and vibration in service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically install this fitting in gas and liquid distribution systems where reliable, high-pressure-rated iron fittings are required.

This tee fitting is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC piping, and industrial process piping where threaded malleable iron connections are specified. The 3/8-inch size fits branch and run piping configurations at that diameter. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications and is commonly required under applicable codes. Its Class 300 rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service lines beyond typical Class 150 applications.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for ductility and impact resistance in threaded piping systems
• Class 300 pressure classification rated to 1500 psi for liquid and gas service
• Threaded end connections for standard NPT-style installation
• Black finish suitable for gas piping applications per common code requirements
• 3/8-inch fitting size for branch tee configurations at that pipe diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems requiring a 3/8-inch tee at Class 300 pressure ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical and fuel gas codes, including the IFGC and IPC where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
