Value Collection B130R 32X15 Black Iron Reducer Tee

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B130R 32X15 is a black malleable iron reducer tee fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in gas and liquid distribution systems. The fitting connects a 1-1/4 inch run on both ends to a 1/2 inch branch outlet, making it a direct solution when reducing flow to a smaller branch line. Rated at 300 psi, it carries a Class 150 designation and meets multiple international standards including FM Approval and cULus Listing. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in commercial and light industrial piping runs where a code-compliant, pressure-rated threaded connection is required.

This reducer tee is suited for use in low-pressure gas piping, water supply, and industrial fluid systems where malleable iron fittings are the specified material. The black finish makes it a common choice in gas distribution applications where zinc-coated fittings are not permitted by code. Threaded end connections conform to ISO 7/1 and GB/T 7306.2 standards, supporting compatibility with standard NPT and BSP threaded pipe in residential mechanical rooms, commercial boiler rooms, and light industrial process lines.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to mechanical stress in threaded assemblies
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating supports demanding low-pressure piping applications
• Black finish suits gas piping installations where ungalvanized iron is required
• Threaded end connections on all three ports for tool-only installation with pipe wrenches
• Meets FM, cULus, ABNT, EN 10242, ISO 7/1, GB/T 3287, and GB/T 7306.2 standards
• Class 150 designation aligns with standard malleable iron fitting classifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for threaded malleable iron piping systems using 1-1/4 inch run pipe and 1/2 inch branch pipe.

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers and pipefitters should install this fitting in accordance with applicable codes including the IPC and IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling any existing fittings or threading new connections. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a proper thread engagement without over-torquing malleable iron. Do not use this fitting in systems that exceed its rated pressure without verifying full system compliance.
