Value Collection 2XE.BMT Black Malleable Iron Reducer Tee

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2XE.BMT is a black malleable iron reducer tee fitting designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution applications. It measures 2 x 2 x 3/4 inches across its three ports and connects via National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on all ends. Rated Class 150 with a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating, this fitting is built for reliable service in moderate-pressure systems. The black finish is standard for gas piping and many industrial plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of malleable iron fitting.

This reducer tee is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a branch takeoff at a reduced diameter is required. The 3/4-inch branch outlet allows a single run-through at 2 inches while feeding a smaller downstream line. Common applications include gas supply piping, compressed air distribution, hydronic heating systems, and general industrial fluid handling where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The NPT thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard pipe and fitting assemblies.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance in threaded piping systems
• Class 150 rating with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure capacity
• NPT threads on all three connections for standard compatibility
• Black finish suited for gas piping and industrial applications
• Reducer tee configuration: 2-inch run with 3/4-inch branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard NPT threaded malleable iron piping systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up NPT connections. Do not over-tighten threaded joints; follow standard hand-tight-plus-turns practice for malleable iron NPT fittings.
