Value Collection B130 65 Black Malleable Iron Tee 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B130 65 is a black malleable iron threaded tee fitting used to create branch connections in piping systems carrying liquids or gases. Sized at 2-1/2 inches with threaded end connections, this Class 150 fitting handles a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi. The black finish is standard for iron pipe fittings used in exposed or buried gas and water distribution lines. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping assemblies where a durable, code-rated branch point is required.

This tee is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where a 2-1/2 inch branch takeoff is needed. Its threaded connection allows installation without welding or special tooling beyond pipe wrenches and threading equipment. Typical applications include natural gas distribution piping, water supply lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose fluid handling. The malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to withstand mechanical stress and vibration in active piping systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install threaded tee for 2-1/2 inch malleable iron pipe systems rated at Class 150 service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting in or replacing any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape appropriate for the service medium before assembly, and tighten connections with pipe wrenches to a secure, leak-free fit without over-stressing the fitting threads. Pressure-test the completed assembly before returning the system to service.
