Value Collection B130 40 Black Iron Tee 1-1/2 in Threaded Class 150

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B130 40 is a black malleable iron tee fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. Built to Class 150 standards, this tee handles liquid and gas service at up to 300 psi. The black finish is standard for gas distribution and low-pressure steam lines. At 1-1/2 inches, it fits common branch and run configurations in both residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this fitting where a threaded branch connection is needed on a main run. Malleable iron construction provides the ductility required to withstand mechanical stress without cracking.

This tee is suited for residential gas piping, hydronic heating distribution, compressed air lines, and light industrial fluid systems where threaded malleable iron fittings are the specified connection type. The 1-1/2-inch size is common in branch runouts and main distribution headers. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit work where NPT-threaded fittings meet local code requirements. Installation follows standard threaded pipe assembly practices and applies to systems requiring Class 150 malleable iron components.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for ductility and mechanical durability in threaded assemblies
• Black finish suitable for gas distribution and low-pressure steam service
• Class 150 rating with 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• 1-1/2-inch threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe
• Meets Enterprise Standard, GB/T 7306.2, and ISO 7/1 specifications
• Tee configuration allows straight run with a 90-degree branch outlet

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2-inch threaded malleable iron piping systems rated at Class 150.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns with a pipe wrench is sufficient to achieve a leak-free joint without damaging the fitting.
