Value Collection B130R 20X15 Black Pipe Reducing Tee

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B130R 20X15 is a Class 150 malleable iron black pipe reducing tee designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas, water, and general plumbing distribution systems. The fitting measures 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/2 inches and is rated at 150 psi, making it suitable for low-pressure black iron pipe runs. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting when reducing a branch outlet from a 3/4-inch main run down to a 1/2-inch branch line. It is sold individually and weighs 0.5 pounds.

This reducing tee is used in residential and light commercial piping systems, particularly in natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as hydronic heating, compressed air, and general-purpose water lines where malleable iron threaded fittings are specified. The threaded end connections accept standard NPT pipe threads, and the Class 150 pressure rating suits typical low-pressure service conditions found in these applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten using pipe wrenches to achieve a leak-free joint. Pressure-test the system after installation before returning it to service.
